After seeing how older jobseekers were sidelined because of their age, Lim Kai Ning started The Courage Chapter to change how people view ageing and work – and make growing older in Singapore feel less limiting and more hopeful.

The future of senior employment isn’t just about getting hired—the prelude to that is about designing new ways to work, advocate, and create opportunities together.

Too often, senior professionals find themselves waiting—for opportunities, for employers to change, for someone else to take action. But what if we became the change-makers?

This Mastermind Session is a collaborative problem-solving lab, where experienced professionals come together to tackle real employment barriers, develop solutions, and take ownership of driving change.

Instead of merely waiting for policy-changes or for companies to act, in the meantime, leverage our collective wisdom to build micro-projects, advocacy campaigns, and business solutions that make it easier for seniors to contribute meaningfully to the workforce.

Intrigued? Sign Up for our first ever Courage Cafe hashtag on 23 April, 2pm - 5pm SGT: https://www.eventbrite.sg/e/courage-cafe-forge-your-own-path-tickets-1300282673479

Drop us a message at [email protected] if you've questions. We look forward to co-creating & accelerating change together 😉

Have you ever thought about retirement and what life might look like after? Will you stop working completely or pursue projects that inspire you, allowing you to share your knowledge and experience meaningfully?

Unilever believes that there’s no age limit to purpose-driven work. In 2024, we launched the Unilever International Reternship Programme, bringing experienced professionals back into the workforce to contribute to areas like procurement and human resources. These individuals not only empowered younger leaders with their insights but also transformed how we work. They proved that age is no barrier to making a meaningful impact.

Now, in 2025, we’re excited to expand this incredible initiative to include 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘉𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘏𝘙, 𝘓𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘴.

📣EXCITING JOB OPPORTUNITIES!

We are hiring for several dynamic roles across the social sectors! Whether you're passionate about events, fundraising, outreach, or customer service, we have a role for you.

✨Why the social sector?
Over the past few months, we've noticed a cool trend. Senior professionals in their next chapter are looking for meaningful contribution, an avenue to share their skills & experience, learn new things, and make new friends. Social sectors are looking for experienced talent who primarily have the heart to give/serve, helping to improve processes and plug operational gaps. This is your chance to work with organisations and contribute to impactful projects, as well as to grow your career in a purpose-driven environment.
