Since early 2008, over 70 Seasoned Worker Forums have been held around the State of Maine. Hundreds of seasoned workers have learned ways to find work or just something to do. 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, 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.
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.
