Abstract: As careers extend into later life due to demographic shifts, consideration for career management for aging employees has emerged as a pressing societal challenge. This study explores the potential of skill-based volunteering programs as a promising approach to address this issue. Based on a qualitative study including insights from aging employees, company managers and a nonprofit representative, the article positions these programs as a valuable way to foster career continuity while encouraging socially meaningful engagement. It highlights the benefits for all parties involved and concludes with practical recommendations to support the development of such programs and create shared value for employees, companies, and nonprofit organizations.
