Details

This project provides a number of bespoke project options to develop innovative ways and means for older adults to achieve greater financial security and freedom before or during retirement. This project has been designed specifically for Bay Path University students in collaboration with CanAge. They are specifically designed to meet the accelerated term structure used by Bay Path University. Students may choose from a myriad of pre-discussed topics in the areas of:

  • exploring various topics of financial security
  • policy research on topics such as pensions, government pensions, RRSPs, etc.
  • various topics in the areas of financial exploitation, frauds, and scams and other financial crimes against older adults
  • understanding the role of the UN, WHO and OECD, and other key players on their efforts to advance financial security globally
  • various discussions on lifespan and longevity and the impacts on savings, and financial planning
  • exploration of entrepreneurship for older adults!

Deliverables
  • Students will provided with guidance and direction for resources and source material from which to conduct their research.
  • Both virtual and built environments, people and processes should be considered as a part of a student's research
  • Most of the research that will be conducted during the term will be secondary research, and will require mainly online research to complete these projects
  • Students can be proud that their work in these areas will be used to lead efforts to create positive and lasting change!

Mentorship

We are only too happy to provide:

  • A briefing document along with a facilitated overview of the important themes and needs for the project
  • Any key messages, target audiences and available creative assets to help them understand the brand
  • A single point of contact (POC) assigned to your course and students, with a team of experts available for questions
  • Access to Slack, Google Workspace, and some other project management tools. We welcome the students so they can feel as though they are part of the team, or at arm's length - whatever is best.
  • *For those running courses outside of Canada*, we'll provide guidance and direction for the students to better understand the Canadian business (and geographical) landscape, along with openly available sources of data that could be useful in making their assessments.
  • Recognition of the school's involvement and the students' work in a media release (if permitted) and attribution of the students' contributions via LinkedIn or references as required.
