Connecting Employers with Older Workers
Our aging workforce has been one of the most important issues facing our country. By 2028, older workers will represent more than 25% of our labor force. This is good news. Older workers bring much-needed experience, emotional intelligence, and creativity to our workplaces.
But only 4% of employers have committed to programs that help integrate older workers into their talent pool. And, as workers age, the opportunities to update their skills are less and less available.
We partner with American business to connect them with a national network of work-ready older Americans, with Federal agencies on staffing solutions, and with older Americans on job training and placement.
Our Partners
American Businesses
We partner with American businesses to connect them to our national network of workforce development specialists, reach local talent, build programming, and create custom partnerships aligned with their organizational goals.
Federal Partners
We partner with Federal agencies, such as the Forest Service and the National Park Service, on staffing solutions. We provide skilled and experienced older Americans to meet their mandates without adding an administrative burden.
Our Older American Workers
Rural America
Older Americans in rural settings have a unique employment challenge. We are in key areas to reach dispersed rural older workers. Our partners have relationships and expertise with rural communities to provide scalable job taining and placement solutions that focus on the skills required by local businesses in rural communities.
Veterans
More than half of unemployed Veterans are age 45 or older. However, the majority of workforce programs for Veterans are only available to younger Veterans. We bridge the gap by providing access to the job training and placement they need to successfully enter the labor force.
The 50+ workforce in America is a beckoning frontier on the verge of discovery.
