A quote from Mr. Peter Wouters, Faculty Chair CIEPS

“Anyone interested in developing a specialty and acumen in the unique needs, wants and issues of today’s and tomorrows elder population will find this a very worthwhile program. We are confident that much of what you will learn you will not have picked up elsewhere, certainly not in a format geared to actionable items and developing deep meaningful relationships with elders, beyond the numbers and figuring out how much is enough.”

Our specialized faculty will mentor you on the many essential and timely topics that the 50+ populations in Canada say are the most relevant issues for them. Critical issues will be covered such as: health and care giving concerns and options, chronic illnesses, marketing to elders and end of life planning,  financial planning, estate planning, taxation, investments and issues facing snowbirds as they pertain to the unique issues, priorities and interests of an aging population.  Many health, social needs and related topics such as: Long Term Care, Critical Illnesses, Government Benefits, as well as associated legal issues and strategies will also be discussed.

Elders look to professionals who can guide them in and through all the issues and aspects of retirement. Your Clients will be seeking out the Elder Planning Counselor in their Community who has demonstrated a commitment to professional development with a specialty in dealing with an aging population.   Be there for them! As such, this program will be of value to any profession interacting with elders.
