Ageing at work was a two year project (2007-2009) within the framework of the Leonardo da Vinci Lifelong Learning Programme 2007-2013 of the European Commission.

The project was led by Prevent in Belgium and has partners in Greece (EWORX), Ireland (WRC), the Netherlands (TNO and Hogeschool Utrecht) and Poland (NIOM).

Project Aims

The project aimed at producing, testing and promoting training for human resource professionals on age management with a particular focus on health (i.e. integrated workplace health management).

In a first phase, a questionnaire survey of user needs was undertaken. In addition, a literature review on the topics concerned was carried out.

During a second phase, training was developed based on the outcomes of the needs analysis and literature review. This training, based on an existing face-to-face training course and an integrated e-learning support environment, addressed human resource professionals from all businesses (all branches, public or private). The training concept was tested in Belgium, the Netherlands and Poland through a pilot.
