Professional reconversion, also known as "professional reorientation", has two distinct forms: involuntary professional reconversion and voluntary professional reconversion, and can occur for a variety of reasons. The aim of this study is to analyse the social factors that hinder the professional retraining of senior citizens in the Port-Bouet commune. The approach is qualitative. The sampling method is non-probabilistic and based on a sample of convenience, which made it possible to collect data from 30 respondents. Computer processing was the main technique used. Firstly, the recorded interviews were transcribed using Sony Digital voice recorder software, then coded using Dedoose software, which made it possible to highlight the different trends in each unit of analysis. The results show that, in terms of the social representation of professional retraining, for these former civil servants it is perceived as another source of income in addition to their retirement pension. It is also an excellent way of combating sedentary lifestyles. As for the factors limiting the professional conversion of these senior citizens, they are economic, political, health, social and legal. The beneficial effects of retraining on their quality of life, according to the respondents, were psychological, physical, economic, material and social.
