The Erasmus+ project SeniorTalent focuses on improving how individuals aged 55 and over are supported in today’s evolving world of work. With demographic change affecting labour markets across Europe, the project responds to two pressing needs: ensuring that older employees can continue to develop their careers in meaningful ways, and helping organisations make better use of the experience and knowledge already within their teams.
By connecting research, organisational development and policy, the Senior Talent project helps build workplaces that are more inclusive, adaptable and sustainable across Europe.
While many senior professionals are ready and willing to contribute, they often face outdated assumptions, limited access to training, or a lack of suitable opportunities. At the same time, SMEs may struggle to engage and retain older talent due to limited resources or strategies.
Senior Talent brings together partners from Austria, Finland, Germany and Latvia to develop practical tools, training resources, and policy recommendations. The project works closely with SMEs and senior employees to test and refine solutions that encourage intergenerational collaboration, promote lifelong learning, and help organisations respond to the realities of an ageing workforce.
