Course Preamble

Are you preparing or prepared for retirement? What stage are you in your career journey? Have you advanced to the state where you are close to retirement to start immediate planning, or you are in your early career, and you want to start future retirement planning? This course will help you are address these questions.

The “preparing for retirement” course is ideal for anyone between the ages of 40 and 65 years. You should start early preparation for retirement. Retirement will always come whether you are working for others or self. Poor retirement preparation can be disruptive to your entire family and sometimes even devastating.

When a company helps her employees to have an effective retirement, this investment creates a positive brand for the company. It attracts young competent professionals to work for the company because they see how older employees were supported. Preparing your employees for retirement is a major Employee Value Proposition (EVP).

In this course, Gabriel Domale Consulting is helping companies to prepare their employees for a happy retirement. We adopt a training and mentorship approach as the course is conducted by ex-managers who will share their hands-on retirement experience in navigating the new world of retirement. We offer individual training or company in-house sessions.
