In Germany, more retirees are choosing to stay active and seek employment. To cater to this trend, the “Beruf: Rente – Seniorenjobs in Mainz-Bingen” network was created, connecting older individuals with job opportunities in various fields. Originally launched as a pilot project in 2016, it evolved into a network by 2020, offering online job listings for both paid and voluntary roles. Local businesses and retirees can register on the portal, and the network facilitates initial contact. While facing challenges during recent crises, the network aims to enhance visibility through networking efforts. Moreover, the platform expanded its services to include volunteer positions. Many seniors seek work in retirement to explore new passions and enjoy a sense of fulfillment. With this initiative, retirees in the region can find engaging opportunities in their post-retirement years.
