Editor's Notes
What are the differences between these two pictures?
On the right hand side
Ask a Question – Who here thinks that the elderly are not important?
We are tacking the problem of an ageing population, in particular the social problem of 50+ unemployment and redundancy.
We aim to re-train these workers or provide individuals with the training to set up their own business.
In the short-term we will increase the proportion of golden workers in the workforce, which will help improve the economy.
In the long term our work will help erode the stigma around the competency of elderly workers.
Primary Competitors
Prime is set up by the Prince’s Trust, which is a part of the ‘Business in the Community’ scheme. Its president is the Prince of Wales. We emailed them and they are they are no longer providing training
PRIME: enabled 28000 people since 1999 to discover self-employment.
