As Baby Boomers retire, companies lose critical skills and knowledge. There are not enough new workers to replace them in many fields.
Knowledge Has No Expiration Date—Share It.
As veteran experts retire, companies lose priceless tribal knowledge while younger staff crave guidance that sticks. Yet traditional mentorship schemes stall—poor matching, no metrics, zero incentives. GreySkills Network pairs seasoned professionals with rising talent, tracks skill transfer for CSR reporting, and even flips the script with “reverse-mentor” hours so both sides learn.
Hypothesis: Corporations will sponsor 25 mentorship hours at ~$2 k if we prove matches are high-quality and impact is dashboard-visible.
• AI compatibility quiz for mentors/mentees.
• Pilot cohort: 5 mentors × 5 mentees for 6 weeks.
• Pass if ≥ 80 % sessions completed and CSR dashboard adopted by HR.
Blends deep-skill tags, personality surveys, and schedule fit to generate top-three mentor matches—ending awkward, manual pairings that die after meeting two.
Live KPI board logs hours, skills transferred, and DEI metrics so HR can drop impact numbers straight into ESG or annual-report sections.
Younger employees earn “credits” to coach mentors in fresh tech or culture trends—creating a bi-directional learning loop that keeps seniors current and Gen-Z valued.
"Matched with a supply-chain veteran who shaved months off my learning curve."
- Priya Desai, Operations Analyst
"Dashboard hours flowed right into our ESG report—finally mentorship we can measure."
- Jonathan Wells, HR VP
"Reverse-mentor credits kept me sharp on AI tools—best two-way program I’ve tried."
- Elena Alvarez, Retired CFO
GreySkills follows EEOC and age-discrimination guidelines—algorithm excludes protected attributes from ranking. All session notes stay private to participants unless both opt-in for sharing. Fees are paid by sponsoring firms; mentors are compensated transparently—no hidden mark-ups.
