The 50+ WORKFORCE INITIATIVE has two goals. The first goal is educating policy makers, elected officials, educators, and employers on the economic insecurities forcing older adults return to work. The second goal is educating these individuals on the unique training needs of older adults to prepare them for return to the workforce which are different from young adults, veterans, returning residents and those 45-50. Older adults encounter age discrimination from the job application submission, through the interview process and on the job. In returning to in person events, the Foundation conducted a 7 week 50+ Refresh Bootcamp under a grant from Employ Prince Georges, Jobs Largo Maryland. These intensive trainings sessions prepared adults ages 57-72 years old in transferable marketable business skills. The skills trainings were in MS Office Suite, customer service, online and in person interviewing skills, creating a competitive age proof resume, presentation skills, online meetings, business etiquette and creating a business social media profile. The first graduating class had a 50% employment rate within two months post-graduation. The Foundation has received another grant from Employ Prince Georges in March 2023GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided––
