About Lifelong Workers
Meet the dedicated team of career development specialists committed to empowering your professional journey
Our Story and Mission
Founded in 2015 by Dr. Sarah Mitchell, Lifelong Workers emerged from a simple yet powerful observation: the traditional career ladder was becoming obsolete. In an era of rapid technological change and evolving workplace dynamics, professionals needed new strategies for building sustainable, adaptable careers.
Dr. Mitchell, with her background in organizational psychology and over two decades in human resources leadership, recognized that career success now required a more nuanced approach. Drawing from research in adult development, labor economics, and organizational behavior, she developed our signature methodology that treats careers as dynamic, evolving entities rather than static paths.
Our mission is to democratize access to high-quality career development resources, making expert guidance available to professionals at every stage of their journey. We believe that with the right tools, strategies, and support, anyone can build a career that is both personally fulfilling and professionally sustainable.
