Legacy Connect: Fusing Retirees Expertise with Youth Enterprise.
In partnership with the Mastercard Foundation and Digital Opportunity Trust (DOT), the SME Support Centre is implementing the Legacy Connect initiative to address the untapped potential of professional retirees. Research shows that many retirees who previously held professional careers often face pressure to transition into farming or business ownership, leading to frustration and underutilization of their expertise.
Legacy Connect seeks to create meaningful opportunities by connecting professional retirees with youth enterprises, particularly in the manufacturing sector. Our goal is to compensate and connect professional retirees with youth enterprises who can benefit from their experience..
The program is designed to bridge intergenerational knowledge gaps, enhance business sustainability, and strengthen youth-led enterprises by leveraging the skills and experience of seasoned professionals. By aligning expertise with innovation, Legacy Connect fosters inclusive economic growth and supports the next generation of business leaders.
