The Site Shed | Systems, Strategy and Growth for Tradies and Contractors

You're never too old to learn something new


Listen Later

During your formative years, you learn everything you need to know to pass school exams. Then you sign-up for an apprenticeship to boost the skills you have to complement your chosen career. After decades of hard work, an excellent retirement plan is what most people look forward to at the end of their careers. The standard trajectory of most careers involve these simple steps.

Now that you’ve retired, what happens next? Anything—from a life of relaxation to finally pursuing your interests and passions.

If you're interested in apprenticeship and careers, you'll listen to these also:
