Logistics organisations can do more with the talent of older workers. That is the idea behind the Boost programme of the Limburg-based Via Academy. The programme, which starts this month, should make 45-plussers in logistics more aware of their qualities and further develop their skills.
The programme lasts 12 months and includes training in self-insight, effective influencing, dealing with change, coaching different generations and innovative thinking. At the end of the programme, candidates present their final assignment.
The programme additionally focuses on working with younger colleagues. Via Academy is convinced that different generations can actually have a positive impact on a company, provided they are given the right tools to do so.
Boost is supported by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund. They make money available for projects that contribute to the development of the southern Dutch economy. Participants pay 1,500 euros for the programme.
