2. Sami Virtanen Helsinki, Finland 52 years old
This is Sami. Sami is a 52 year old professor from the University of Helsinki.
He’s been researching and teaching chemistry for the last 20 years of his life.
After the big layoffs at the University of Helsinki, Sami is now losing his job as a professor.

3. ? ? ? ?
Sami will no longer be able to continue his research work or teaching.
He doesn’t know what to do and is afraid of starting over.
He wonders whether he will find another job and how he will occupy his time if he doesn’t.

4. To someone like Sami who has not been through this process in a very long time it is a daunting task
Sami does not have a good understanding of what his options are.
Sami has some ideas, what he might want to do but doesn’t know how to get started.

5. Sami is not alone in his situation
Sami is not alone in his situation. In Finland, 80 to 90 thousand people, just like Sami, retire from a career either as a part of a lay-off or by choice every year. As the large baby boomer generation is closing the age of retirement, these numbers will keep increasing each year.

6. Currently, the Finnish government has no clear plan of what to do with all these people.
There have even been discussions about offering elderly unemployed people early retirement.
This wastes all the potential these experienced, skillful, and healthy professionals have gained throughout the years.
We can not simply waste all this potential.

7. For people leaving a career, that door closes and they cannot see any other door but the one leading to retirement.
What if there was a system to help them and show them the other doors ?
What if there was even a way to guide them through the door they want ?

8. What if people like sami can connect with each other and support ?
What if they can connect with people with similar goals, interests and/or motivations ?
What if they have easy access to opportunities where they can use their skills and experience to create value or explore something new ?
