26th September 2008 (Friday)

9am to 6pm

NUS SDE1, Staff Lounge, Level 2

The Design Incubation Centre is holding our second design workshop for the aging population, “SILVER TALENTS”.

As the workforce in Singapore continues to age, challenges to the economy and employment structure are inevitable. Potential employers seek a company of competent employees while silver workers desire to continue contributing to the economy. Their desire to work and talents are often undervalued, resulting in uncertainty of their retirement careers.

This workshop aims to investigate on the silver working population, discovering this pool of silver talents anddesigning new business services to help them work and age actively with a sense of satisfaction.

We hope to involve 20-30 students, lecturers, and experts in interactive sessions with the retirees,

and dynamic brainstorming using new design tools.

For enquiries, or to register for the workshop (by 15th September) , please contact
