PATH is designed as an innovative learning process using adult education methodologies tailored to 55+ individuals. It supports active aging by guiding participants through self-assessment, training, learning by doing, and mentoring. The project addresses demographic challenges and labor shortages by developing scalable solutions for employers and policymakers, fostering long-term well-being, workforce participation, and sustainable aging.

PATH includes needs assessments, training programs, services for 55+ people and employers, mentoring, and stakeholder engagement. Participants will develop individualized retirement plans through structured career, learning, and social participation pathways. The project integrates research, best practices, and digital tools to ensure accessibility and effectiveness. A methodological handbook and policy recommendations will support replication and adoption at national and EU levels.

PATH will create a replicable framework supporting older adults in the fields of active ageing. Expected outcomes include improved workforce retention, increased well-being, and enhanced social participation. The project will influence employers, policymakers, and training providers, ensuring the long-term sustainability of age-friendly policies and programs. Findings will be disseminated at local, national, and EU levels to maximize impact.
