ExPERIENCED TALENT

Encore Fellows UK brings experienced talent to social sector organisations to help them build capacity and grow. Through short term, paid, high impact projects an experienced person (the Encore Fellow) is matched with a social sector organisation to tackle an operational challenge.

PURPOSEFUL WORK

Employers offer the experienced worker a new pathway into purposeful work as they approach retirement. An Encore Fellowship facilitates a productive transition.

BENEFITS COMMUNITIES

Both local communities and our society benefits from creating intergenerational connections.

THE MOTIVATION OF A FELLOW with Marek Tribedi

Given shifting demographics and a future labor force with five generations working side by side, Encore Fellowships are a model for innovating using experienced talent to benefit communities. Call it an adaptive reuse of human-capital.
Marc Freedman
President & CEO, encore.org
The Encore Fellowships program is really extraordinary. It’s one of those enlightened ideas where both the organization and the Fellow give a lot and get a lot.

NEXT ACT

People are looking for a purposeful transition into the next stage of productive working lives. Employers are looking to expand the range of options for older employees at this important life stage. Charities and non-profit organisations are solving social problems and bridging generational divides. They face major skills shortages often for operational activities.
