The ReGrow project piloted the delivery of Information Advice and Guidance (IAG1), Mentoring and Training to people over 50 in employment in the South East Region. This is the report of the evaluation of the programme, considering both how far it achieved the targets set and what can be learned of value in developing such services in the future. The project was carried out in the context of growing concern, at national and regional level, at the underemployment of older people, alongside growing skill and labour shortages in the region. It was hoped that providing older workers with career guidance, tailored training and mentoring would increase their retention in the workforce, and ensure that they were better deployed.
