Mature Worker Employment Program – British Columbia
We were tasked to design a multi-modal employment program with the intention to help older workers develop in-demand skills and put their experience to work in the service sector.
We developed a service that combined one-on-one sessions, group workshops. and facilitated online job search skills development.
This program for mature workers was multi-modal and extremely successful at tackling a critical problem created by changing labour market needs. By taking a holistic community approach it engaged individuals seeking employment as well as the employers themselves to bridge connections, provide skill-building, and work to improve the overall economy of a community in need.
