CURRENTLY NO SEASONED WORKER FORUMS ARE SCHEDULED.
Many busineses have benefited from the events and over 4000 people have attended forums since 2008. Many of these companies would like the programs to continue and it will be considered in a modified format. These events provide valuable information and suggestions to older workers age 50 and older about the changing workforce and what they need to do to be prepared for the future.
WHAT IS A SEASONED WORKER FORUM?
Since early 2008, dozens of Seasoned Worker Forums have been held around the State of Maine. Over 4000 seasoned workers have learned ways to find work or just something to do. Working in partnerships with many companies, regional Workforce Investment Boards, Maine CareerCenters and a collaboration of public and private agencies the forum program features open discussions about the changing workforce, finding jobs, age discrimination, technology, networking and many other issues facing the seasoned worker.
There is no magic formula but the seasoned worker is given many suggestions about utilizing existing services, building a team, networking, where to look for employment and using their own talents. With the aging population and longer life expectancy many companies realize the seasoned worker is critical to them and the economy both now and into the future.
Companies everywhere are recognizing the value, reliablity and availability of the seasoned worker. Is your company involved? FOR MORE INFORMATION
Who is the Seasoned Person?
Any person 50 years or older. These folks are not old, not elders, not seniors and most never want to be mature - so they are simply seasoned. They are working, semi-retired, retired, displaced or interested in re-entering the workforce for any number of personal reasons. They have contributed to building the most powerful, technologically advanced nation on earth. They bring unique experiences that add to their value as workers. Call it spice, zest, seasoning or just understanding more about life.
