GOER Pre-Retirement Planning 2-day Program
We are pleased to let you know that the Governor’s Office of Employee Relations (GOER) Work Life Services (WLS) will again offer virtual Fall 2023 NYS Pre-Retirement DIRECTIONS Sessions from September – December 2023. Using the WexEx platform, these live sessions will be conducted bi-weekly over 2 days using the following schedule and agenda:
These important and informative DIRECTIONS webinars will provide the exact same live training as the in-person seminars including the same valuable information as provided by the same presenters. As these are popular events, prior attendance rules will continue to apply. All employees will only be able to attend one (1) complete webinar session, one (1) time in their career. And, when live seminars do safely return, employees who attended these webinars will not be permitted to register and attend the live seminar.
Prior eligibility criteria will also remain consistent. One (1) attendance in their employment career is open to any employee who
- is at least 50 years of age and
- is eligible to retire in 5 years
These popular DIRECTIONS webinars are provided to NYS agencies state-wide. So, with extremely limited availability, we ask that registrants be mindful of their reservation and required attendance at both sessions.
