Abstract
This study aimed to examine the participation of retired trainers in Kenya's circular economy workforce, evaluating existing policy frameworks and identifying the barriers and enablers influencing their engagement. Despite the global importance of circular economy principles, retired trainers in Kenya face challenges hindering their involvement in the circular economy workforce. Using a descriptive survey design, data was gathered from a target population of seventy-five retired trainers, with sixty-three responding. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data, presented in tables and percentages while preserving anonymity. The findings recognize the potential contributions of retired trainers to circular economies in Kenya, but existing policies often need to address their specific needs and challenges, such as limited access to training, financial constraints, and age-related discrimination. By addressing the policy implications of retired trainers' engagement in circular economies, this research contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable development and inclusive growth, offering actionable insights and recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders. These recommendations empower them to foster a more inclusive and resilient circular economy workforce in Kenya.
