ReSet Research
The Top 60 Over 60 has developed a three module learning program called ReSet, specifically designed to support participants as they reflect on who they are and what they want to do as they grow older. To test the effectiness of ReSet, we partnered with the Ontario Centre for Workforce Innovation and Ryerson University and conducted a qualitative study in the spring of 2018. The research question we posed was: Does this program reduce internalized feelings of ageism and encourage (increase) an entrepreneurial mindset in older adults?
That research is complete and the link to the report on our findings can be found below.
