IntegrAGE

Room for older workers (55+) in the modern labour market

In a modern, fast-paced work world full of innovation and technological advancements, older workers are often left behind – and with them their valuable expertise and workforce. The IntegrAGE project counteracted this and aimed to integrate people over the age of 55 into the labour market, strengthen their resilience and use their experience – so that everyone, young or old, has and can keep a job.

Project Objectives

The IntegrAGE project aimed to promote the labour market participation of older workers (55+) by strengthening their skills and supporting them in adapting to modern working methods. By remaining active in the labour market, involuntary early retirement could be avoided and productive phases of working life could be extended. Harnessing the potential of older workers also helped to counteract the shortage of skilled labour, which is particularly important in regions with limited labour mobility.
