About Ageing at Work
AGEING AT WORK is a two years project (2008-2009) within the framework of the Leonardo da Vinci Lifelong Learning Programme 2007-2013 of the European Commission.
The project is being led by Prevent in Belgium and has partners in Greece (EWORX), Ireland (WRC), the Netherlands (TNO and Hogeschool Utrecht) and Poland (NIOM).
Project Aims
The project aims at producing, testing and promoting a training for HR professionals on age management with a particular focus on health (i.e. integrated workplace health management).

Based on the outcomes of the needs analysis and literature review, a training will be developed in a second phase. This training addresses HR professionals from all businesses (all branches, public or private), and will exist of a face-to-face training course as well as an integrated e-learning support environment.
