Preparing for Retirement

Retirement doesn’t have to mean the end of your professional journey. CILIP's RPG group is a diverse and active member network that is committed to furthering the profession and promoting library and information services.

The RPG group organises a range of social activities and events to keep in touch with each other and the profession as a whole and publishes a quarterly newsletter to keep members up to date.

Mentoring

If you’ve achieved a level of Professional Registration in the course of your career, why not become a mentor and help others through the process?

All CILIP mentors complete a mentoring skills training session to enable you to share your expertise and help others to achieve their Professional Registration.

Volunteering

Even if you’ve never volunteered or sat on a committee before, it’s never too late to start! Our Member Networks and Special Interest Groups are always looking for experienced professionals to help them engage with the rest of the CILIP community. If you’re thinking about retirement, joining one of our committees is a great way to keep up to date with profession and make new friends.
