Retire Successfully Retirementor, Lynda Smith, helps people refire rather than retire. Now she aims to transform the face of employment in South Africa. She has created a skills portal where over 50s who have expertise and experience can connect with employers seeking just that kind of employee.
On Thursday the 07th of March, they are hosting a meeting for those who are part of the 50+ plus generation and are still willing to give their time and expertise to a worthwhile initiative in education.
There are two million skilled people in South Africa over the age of 60.
If 10% of them engaged in some kind of work or volunteering, using their existing skills, time and passion, for five years, this would equate to ONE MILLION years of economic activity for South Africa.
GUEST: Lynda Smith – CEO of 50 plus Skills (and also a board member of Partners for Possibilities)
