You bring up such valid points. Even looking at forced retirement. I think the idea of having these people coach or mentor is excellent. Just as we have mentor programs for new teachers, I think we should have mentor programs for retiring as well. This would allow them to pass on and share and even transition into a mentor/coaching relationship. There is too much valuable knowledge and skills there to just toss away.

Thanks Karen. The cost of building mentoring programs with retired or laid off tech workers or professionals is more cost-effective than keeping them on unemployment and their value triples. Just imagine the enthusiasm that they can pass on to others.
