Why Should I Take This Course?
Work plays a major role in our lives, and moving into retirement can be a significant change—one that isn’t always easy to tackle.
This course is designed to help individuals within five years of retirement better understand the transformations this new stage of life may bring—not only financially, but also psychologically and socially.
It provides tools and guidance to help participants prepare for these changes and approach retirement with confidence and clarity.
The course also encourages reflection on future activities and relationships, supporting a smooth transition toward a new, fulfilling life balance.
