'Urgent need' | New 'reskilling era' needed to boost lifelong learning for older workers, CIPD says

New analysis from the CIPD reveals an urgent need for greater investment in lifelong learning to help older workers stay in employment and build long-term financial security.

The CIPD warns that older workers are particularly exposed to the megatrends reshaping the labour market, from rapid advances in AI to the transition to a net zero economy. With fewer opportunities to develop, retrain or switch careers, many risk being left behind as roles evolve or disappear entirely.
