Web: Knowledge Relay
Nowadays young people are having hard times looking for new professional experiences. At the same time, every year senior people get retired with a strong expertise on their field and a great networking agenda. “Knowledge relay” is a network where just retired people will transfer their knowledge and expertise to just graduated youngsters in order to help them finding a gap in the labour world. As a return, young people will help the seniors with whatever need they may have.
“Knowledge Relay” is an on-line platform where “just graduated” and “just retired” people come in contact to exchange knowledge. Senior people get retired at 65, when they still have a perfect mental health. After a whole life working on a field, senior people have a huge networking agenda that could be really helpful for just graduated willing to start their professional career. This platform will help to transfer the knowledge and experiences from senior people to new generations. As exchange young people will help seniors with the understanding of the new technologies.
The target group is divided in subgroups. On one hand, part of the users of this service are young people recently graduated between 20 and 25 years old, who are dynamic, social, eager to keep learning and willing to enter in the labour world. These people usually look for a job on the internet but also via job agencies, business fairs, conferences and their network. On the other hand, senior just retired people between 55 and 65 are the other part of our target group. These retired users are full of knowledge and experience, they are still mentally active people used to the business life and they are definitely still able to give a service to our society. Usually they tend to fill their free time with social activities.
