WHAT IS A SEASONED WORKER FORUM?

In 2008, there were 30 Seasoned Worker Forums held around the State of Maine. Hundreds of seasoned workers have learned ways to find work. Working in partnerships with many local, regional and national companies the forum program features open discussions about the changing workforce, finding jobs, age discrimination, technology and many other issues facing the seasoned person. There is no magic formula but the seasoned worker is given many suggestions about utilizing existing services, building a team, networking and where to look for employment. With the aging population and longer life expectancy many companies realize the seasoned worker is critical to them and the economy.

Who is a 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.


Ask the simple question; with the population aging and a shrinking workforce, what will happen to the economy over the next 20 years?

LET'S LOOK AT THE FACTS Nationwide people are living longer than any previous generations. The Baby Boomers are the largest, healthiest, best-educated generation in the history of man. There are not enough young people moving through the workforce to fill the millions of jobs that will become vacant as the Baby Boomers retire. Without enough workers who will fill these jobs?

People in their 50's and even 60's can expect to live another 20 to 30 years and more, decades longer than their ancestors. Improved health care, more active lifestyles and better diets are adding years to life expectancy.
 

WHAT IS HAPPENING?
 Our society has always rewarded a strong work ethic. How does one suddenly go from the scheduled activity of work to just total rest and relaxation? What happens to the mental and physical condition of people who no longer have regular activity? What happens to a person's identity when they give up their life's work? Can people continue to fare well without some kind of physical and mental activity - all those advantages found in work? These are just a few of the issues facing our aging population.
