Abstract
The Chancellor was clear about one thing during yesterday’s budget: “No country can thrive if it turns its back on such a wealth of talent and ability”, he stated, adding that for too many hitting 50 was more about facing the cliff edge of retirement rather than “a moment of anticipation about another two decades of fulfilment”.
It was in this context and given reports that 3 in 5 over 50s have retired since the pandemic, that he floated the new ‘returnerships’, an apprenticeship-style programme which, together with skills bootcamps would work alongside sector skills academies. They are due to offer skills training focussed on “flexibility” and to take “previous experience into account, shortening the length of time the returner needs to be in training”.
