Seputarkarawang.com - Karawang, Karawang โ The Karawang Entrepreneur Sejahtera UMKM Foundation (KERSA) presents a pre-retirement program based on empowering micro businesses as a concrete step to encourage people's economic independence before retirement.The program is designed to help people remain productive and have a source of income through various business opportunities that can be run from home with affordable capital.The Chairman of the KERSA UMKM Foundation said that this program was born out of concern for the large number of people who still feel confused about determining the direction of their business after entering retirement. According to him, post-employment economic preparation needs to be done from an early age so that people continue to have productive activities and sustainable income."Many people actually have the enthusiasm for entrepreneurship, but don't know the right business field after retirement. Therefore, we are presenting a pre-retirement program based on education and business assistance so that people are better prepared to face the future," he said in Karawang.
Through this program, the KERSA UMKM Foundation presents several business sector options that are considered to have promising market opportunities and are easy for the community to run, including KERSA Laundry Preneur, cultivating catfish, laying hens, and hydroponics.Not only providing business packages, participants will also receive basic training, field practice assistance, marketing education, and sustainable business development. This program is open to workers approaching retirement, the general public, housewives and MSMEs who want to have additional income. KERSA assesses that strengthening MSMEs is one of the strategic steps in building community economic resilience. With an educational and practical approach, the foundation hopes that the program will be able to give birth to new business people who are independent, productive and ready to develop."Retirement does not mean stopping working. In fact, it is a momentum to start a business that is more flexible, independent and still profitable," he said.Apart from helping the community's economic preparation, the pre-retirement program is also expected to strengthen the MSME ecosystem in Karawang Regency through collaboration, mentoring and community-based business development.Currently, the KERSA MSME Foundation is opening opportunities for the community who want to join the program.
