Startup School for Seniors

Advantages of Age offers business training programs to empower individuals over 50 to become successful business owners. Our eLearning-based program, Startup School for Seniors, combines self-paced instruction with facilitated group sessions. This cohort-based online program can be completed over 2 or 8 weeks and is delivered through a secure platform, providing each participant with their login and password for access and to ensure complete confidentiality. The course addresses challenges that older learners face, such as a lack of self-confidence, complex needs, and lack of exposure to successful entrepreneurs of similar age, race, and gender. It enables participants with caring responsibilities (1 in 5 people over 50) to work on the programme within their free time. The course includes 25 hours of pre-recorded video lessons, regular group sessions and 1-on-1 mentoring delivered via Zoom. The programme is built on a secure leading learning platform (Kajabi) with integrated QA, which has recently undergone an accessibility improvement project thanks to an innovation award from the Design Age Institute/Royal College of Art.

Help us to develop corporate partnerships

Mar 25, 2023

Startup School for Seniors has a contract to deliver its programme to London residents, but we want to help others. We want to work with someone to develop an offer we can propose to corporate organisations as part of their CSR programmes to support older people outside London to start their businesses and become self-employed. We want to work with someone who can help us develop this offer, who to contact and how to get it off the ground. The idea would be to sponsor a package of places on our course within a local area.
