Short Description: For many highly skilled professionals, retirement marks a transition to dynamic phases of their career rather than an endpoint. This presentation explores how they continue developing expertise post-retirement through talent development models. It highlights the need for a comprehensive career theory and proposes a framework for older professionals and experts to remain engaged, contribute to society, and sustain professional growth.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will explore the gap in current career theory that addresses the vocational needs of older, highly skilled individuals, recognizing post-retirement work as a medium for lifelong talent development.
Attendees will explore how highly skilled individuals can continue to refine their expertise post-retirement, drawing from Talent Development Mega Model and Talent Development Model of Eminent Women.
Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the framework designed to support the career trajectories of older, highly skilled individuals and identify key areas for further research in this field.
