About us

We believe that with the right support and resources, everyone can be inspired and supported to make career changes, at any stage in their lives.

The Careers can change campaign shows people, particularly those in midlife, that their careers can change successfully, whether that’s making a small shift or a total pivot.

The objectives of the campaign are to:

  • Inspire people to see that their careers can change successfully, and in many different ways
  • Encourage more people to actively manage their careers throughout their working lives
  • Connect people to great information, support, and organisations that can help them

The campaign is convened by Standard Life Centre for the Future of Retirement. We work with a range of experts and organisations to provide career changers with a wide range of practical help and advice.
