Panel Discussion: Post-career work opportunities in retirement

Many of you have expressed interest in finding flexible or part-time work opportunities after retirement. We're revisiting this topic, this time in a panel discussion format, and inviting 3 individuals who have retired to share their experiences.

Join us in a panel discussion to explore questions such as:

• What were you hoping to gain from a job after retirement? And what did you gain?
• How did you go about exploring different opportunities?
• How did you position yourself, your availability, type of work, etc.?
• [message us with any other sub-topics!]

The panel will feature 3 individuals who have retired and discovered new roles, some in a similar field, others in a completely different role from their full-time career. They'll begin by sharing their experiences, followed by an interactive discussion.
