Retirement is one of the most significant transitions in an individual’s life, requiring thoughtful preparation to ensure financial stability, emotional well-being, and a fulfilling post-career lifestyle. For civil and public servants, this transition is often accompanied by unique challenges due to the structured nature of their careers and the vital role they play in society. The Retirement Planning for Civil and Public Servants program, designed by Pideya Learning Academy, offers a comprehensive approach to help participants navigate this crucial life stage with clarity and confidence.
As life expectancy continues to rise globally, with the average lifespan increasing by nearly 6 years since 2000 (WHO, 2022), retirement planning has become more critical than ever. In regions like Africa, where civil and public servants contribute significantly to the economy, strategic retirement planning is paramount to ensuring financial security and maintaining dignity after active service. Alarmingly, studies reveal that over 60% of retirees face financial shortfalls within the first decade of retirement due to inadequate planning and insufficient savings. Pideya Learning Academy addresses these issues through this targeted program, ensuring that participants can secure their future effectively.
This program emphasizes the importance of early and strategic planning for retirement, offering a roadmap that blends financial literacy, lifestyle management, and emotional preparedness. Participants will gain insights into managing income sources, reducing liabilities, and optimizing savings to ensure a sustainable retirement. Moreover, the course goes beyond financial strategies to address lifestyle changes, including adapting to new routines, exploring fulfilling opportunities like volunteer work or part-time employment, and nurturing a sense of purpose after leaving the workforce.
Key highlights of the training include:
Structured financial planning frameworks: Participants will learn how to evaluate their financial health, estimate future expenses, and build sustainable income streams, ensuring a financially secure retirement.
