Part-time certificate program Future Market 65plus

Due to demographic change, today's 65-plus generation is not only stronger in numbers than in the past. Their resources, potentials and needs have also become more diverse. With the shift in age structure and the changes in living situations, the offers and services that people aged 65 and over want and are able to take advantage of are also becoming more diverse. Innovative health and education services, needs-based housing or technical solutions for everyday problems are just a few conceivable examples.

The programExternal link combines interdisciplinary knowledge of age and aging with the necessary entrepreneurial skills to implement project ideas, whether in the context of activities within (social) institutions or self-employment. It accompanies participants from the development of ideas to the creation of a finished project or business concept and offers space for joint exchange and reflection. Thanks to a blended learning approach that combines self-study phases with two-day attendance phases (seven attendance weekends in 18 months), the program can be easily combined with professional and family commitments and/or an existing course of study.
