New: ‘Making the Most of

Retirement’ Online Programme

At the end of March, we ran our first ever Security Institute webinar. We wanted to run an online session that highlighted the range
of resources available to all members of the Security Institute through our Professional Development Platform, the webinar called
‘Making the Most of the Professional Development Platform’ gave a great overview of the broad variety of tools that you can access
on the platform and a recorded version is still available to watch in the Members’ Area of our website.

A few of the attendees from this session questioned why there wasn’t a programme that collated all the resources available that
address the transition from professional life to retirement. We recognised the demand for such a programme that offers tips for a
smooth transition into retirement and outlines the several different avenues that can be explored to remain professionally involved
whilst not working.

Less than two weeks later the ‘Making the Most of Retirement’ was launched. Whether your retirement is approaching fast or
you’re years away from this significant milestone, it’s never too early to start preparing. Learn about the factors to consider and the
many options available to you once you reach retirement age, ensuring that you can remain professionally fulfilled and make the
most of your retirement.

The programme also offers advice for passing on your expertise during retirement. Becoming a mentor and assisting active pro-
fessionals with their careers and development, is a great way to remain professionally active during retirement and allows others
to benefit from your years of experience and in-depth knowledge. Members of the Security Institute can engage in a mentoring
relationship through our online Mentoring Platform available here: https://securityinstitute.onpld.com/

Utilising the Professional Development Platform and participating in a mentoring relationship, either as a mentor or mentee, are
two fantastic ways to earn CPD points remotely.
