These are non-scheme specific sessions available on a first come, first served basis. Please note that although our speakers will be covering the topics thoroughly, they will be doing so generally, and so won’t be able to cover scheme-specific information.
You will need to have access to Teams to take part. If you are joining from a mobile device, please ensure that you have the Teams app already installed to the device. Please click here for more information on Teams.
The age groups stated for the Career Stage Seminars are for guidance only. You can choose the seminars you feel are most appropriate for you. It is recommended however, that those looking to attend a My Retirement my way seminar, should be at least 53 and within reach of accessing pension savings.
Some seminars that are listed on this schedule will become available to book closer to the time.
