Ashling Partnership is a career development consultancy. We focus on helping the 50+ age group to build fantastic second parts of their lives, initially through www.fiftyforward.co.uk, our learndirect website, and then through our book 'The Rainbow Years: the Pluses of Being 50+'. We see portfolio careers as a workstyle choice for the 21st century and are developing a book to help people develop a portfolio career. This will link to a website devoted to portfolio careerists. We promote to organisations the commercial payoffs of attracting portfolio workers and the pluses of employing and training the over-50s.
