Workshops

Planning for a satisfying retirement requires more than looking at finances or planning for future health needs. With the increased longevity of baby boomers, it also requires exploration of the many options available for work and leisure during your retirement years.

This unique online, self-study course provides the resources, tools, and time you need to explore the question, “What am I going to do with the rest of my life?” The Planning for Retirement course offers:

• A structured, well-thought-out method for examining your own values, interests, and capabilities… and how to formulate a plan to pursue them
• A convenient, online format that lets you work at your own pace in the comfort of your own home
• Personal career counseling with a qualified career facilitator at two key points in the course
• Access to information and resources, such as assessments, to help you make personal discoveries and decisions
• Directions for developing a personal portfolio to assist you in pursuing your career/life goals and documenting your decisions and results

This course is organized by the Center on Education and Work at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. For more information and instructions on how to register, please visit this link.
