They are dependable, caring, experienced and wise. So, it's no wonder more and more smart companies are turning to older workers to get the job done right.
Findings from AARP research indicate that many of today's workers want to continue to work and want viable work options later in life. Nearly 70 percent of workers who have not yet retired reported they plan to work into their retirement years or never retire, and almost half indicated they envision working into their 70s and beyond.
Michigan-based AARP National Employer Team members are aware of this trend and are working with AARP Michigan, Macomb Community College, Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth, Michigan Works!, Michigan Office of Services to the Aging, and Michigan Small Business & Technology Development Center to host a free informational forum to take a comprehensive look at opportunities for employers and workers on Sept. 14, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Macomb Community College - University Center, 44575 Garfield Road, Clinton Township.
During the forum, attendees will learn about service and work - the best of both worlds; online portfolios; how to make a good first impression; opportunities in healthcare careers; starting a business and much, much more.
For additional information and to get registered for this event, call toll-free, 1-877-926-8300. Space is limited and the registration deadline is Sept. 7.
