If an elderly worker wants to learn new technology what should be the correct workplace response?

Correct answer: Give age friendly training and support

The direct answer is B: the workplace should provide age-friendly training and support. Lifelong learning means people can gain new knowledge and skills throughout life. An elderly worker may need a slower pace, clear instructions, practice time, accessible equipment, or mentoring, but age does not remove the right or ability to learn. Option A is wrong because stopping learning is discriminatory and wastes a worker’s potential. Option B is correct because it combines opportunity with reasonable support suited to the learner’s needs. Option C is wrong because removing the worker is unfair and assumes inability without evidence. Option D is wrong because mocking age creates humiliation and an unsafe workplace. The goal is inclusion: provide training, allow practice, and judge progress fairly. Memory cue: older does not mean unable; support the learner, do not exclude the person.
