The combination of a growing number of new occupations and demographic shifts towards an older workforce suggests a greater need for helping workers reskill and retrain for new jobs throughout their careers.
Moreover, worker's likelihood of changing occupations tends to decline with age.

With today's growing number of tech breakthroughs, this is truer than ever. Technological advances have always given rise to new industries and occupations.
