Older employees can continuously update their knowledge system in terms of seeking knowledge through participating in training courses, communicating and collaborating with younger colleagues, and utilizing online learning platforms. In terms of career development, they can rely on their stability, sense of responsibility, and team coordination ability to seek transformation towards management positions, technical consultants, and other directions.
