The Office of Sustainability and Social Responsibility (NYCU), in collaboration with the Hsinchu City Government, is delighted to invite you to the lecture “Designing New Career Paths for the Elderly through Service Design.”
This event aims to explore how design thinking and social innovation can inspire more inclusive and creative approaches to senior employment.

Chien-Yu Liao, founder of the social enterprise “LaowanKe”, will share inspiring stories and insights on how service design thinking can be used to create new job roles and work experiences for older adults—empowering everyone to continue contributing, learning, and living a fulfilling life at every stage.

In this talk, you’ll discover:

  • What do older adults care about most in the workplace?
  • How can job design highlight the experience and value of senior workers?
  • How can institutions and workplace culture make senior employment warmer and more inclusive?
