(JUBA) – The Bank of South Sudan has begun the second phase of its pre-retirement training programme aimed at preparing staff members for life after service.
The initiative, which started last week in Juba, is organised by the Compensation and Benefits Division within the Directorate of Administration and Human Resources. It is designed to provide retiring employees with practical skills, resources, and guidance to help them adjust smoothly into retirement.
According to the organisers, the training covers financial planning, social wellbeing, health management, and strategies for sustaining livelihoods after leaving active employment. The programme also highlights opportunities for investment and entrepreneurship that can support former employees in securing long term stability.
Officials at the Bank of South Sudan said the pre-retirement sessions are necessary to ensure that staff members who have served the institution and the country transition confidently into the next chapter of their lives.
Participants welcomed the training, noting that it helps to address common challenges faced by retired workers, including lack of preparation, financial insecurity and social adjustment.
The Bank of South Sudan has indicated that further phases of the programme may follow to cover more groups of retiring staff.
