AARP Foundation launched BACK TO WORK 50+ to provide unemployed older workers with a suite of tools and coaching resources to help them compete with confidence for today’s high quality in-demand jobs. Foundational to its success is a nationwide network of community partners who implement program components in their local communities. Community Partners reach and serve older adults by incorporating tools and resources that address the unique challenges workers over 50 may face as they look for new work opportunities.
In addition to introducing jobseekers over 50 to a 7-Step job search roadmap, coaching supports for their search journey, and employer access events, community partners can also provide resources like short-term training and work-based learning.
BACK TO WORK 50+ is currently being administered in the following locations. To find out if there is a local BACK TO WORK 50+ site near you, dial toll free 1-855-850-2525 or search for a free Overview Workshop hosted by a community partner in your area or AARP Foundation.
