Developing your skills in the silver economy
Changes in our society linked to an aging population have created new needs… which in turn call for new skills. What about training? AFNOR Compétences offers a range of training courses to help you take advantage of the opportunities offered by the silver economy, by becoming an expert in its normative framework, applied to three main sectors.
Developing voluntary standards for the silver economy
Is the silver economy strategic? Certainly! In 2013, the government set up an industry committee to look at the issue from an inter-professional angle, involving voluntary standardization as an essential tool for designing quality products and services. The study by the AFNOR silver economy think-tank identifies all the sectors that stand to gain.
Tomorrow’s standards are being prepared today. And certainly not without you!
