HOW WE’RE FIGHTING FOR YOU
AARP Takes on Unfair Workplaces
ONE OF AARP’S most important goals is to ensure that older Americans have the opportunities and support they need to thrive at every stage of their career. Here’s how AARP is making a difference:
1. Fighting age discrimination. AARP advocates for fair hiring and workplace practices, supports key bipartisan legislation like the Protect Older Workers Against Discrimination Act and the Protect Older Job Applicants Act, and promotes the benefits of multigenerational teams. Go to aarp.org/agediscrimination to learn more.
2. Empowering older workers. AARP has joined forces with Indeed to launch a job search platform designed to help experienced workers. This online service offers curated job listings, résumé assistance, interview prep and more. Go to aarp.org/IndeedCareerServices to get started.
3. Helping older workers navigate the job market. AARP has developed programs that can assist older job seekers with their search.
