Since the beginning of 2007 the Seasoned Workforce LLC has run a series of forums for older workers in cooperation with the Rockland, Maine CareerCenter. As the result the company has expanded it's Seasoned Worker Forums to locations all over the state of Maine. These programs have been very effective in finding experienced, reliable employees for businesses large and small. The programs provide an excellent method for businesses and potential employees to talk, network with each other and share information about the workforce.
Program Goals
Provide an opportunity for seasoned people and businesses to discuss the changing workforce.
Businesses hear first hand the reservations seasoned workers have in searching for employment.
Seasoned workers hear directly from businesses the complexities of the employment process and business expectations.
Dscribe the need for more reliable employees for an expanding economy and their importance to economic growth.
Give local/regional businesses a cost effective opportunity to find and recruit quality employees.
Provide an opportunity to service more people at CareerCenters in a productive, cost effective way. The Way The Forum Works
The basic principle behind the Seasoned Worker Forum is to create an atmosphere of open, frank yet very positive discussions about the changing workforce.
Participation must be limited to 40 to 50 seasoned people not including business representatives (8 to 12) to be most effective. The program is limited to 3 hours. Direct conversations with businesses are encouraged during and after the forum.
A list of the names and contact information of all attendees will be provided to participating businesses and agencies involved. The Seasoned Workforce LLC will maintain lists and attempt to measure the successes of participants involved in the program.
Program Costs
The cost to any seasoned person (50 years old or more) attending a Seasoned Worker Forum is always FREE.
Any sponsorship costs are shared by business partners based on the number of businesses involved and the specific goals that are established. Other than staff time, expenses include the cost of local advertising and promotion, possible handouts, travel and other miscellaneous expenses. There is an intricate set of partnerships possible between the public and private sectors that can be formed to create very cost effective programs. As expected multiple forum dates from the same basic promotional activity will reduce the overall cost to the companies participating.

SURVEYS FOR BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT
The job of doing the detail work involved with any survey can be daunting. Seasoned people bring a maturity, reliability and most often demonstrate superior customer service skills in that kind of work. Many surveys need just a few temporary people for short periods of time. That can create a problem for companies or governmental agencies having to hire people for temporary jobs. Let the Seasoned Workforce show you some cost efficient means to get the job done.
The Seasoned Workforce LLC can set up a program almost anywhere utilizing seasoned people from that geographical location. It can be in conjunction with other placement agencies or organizations in a particular area or as a contract executed by the Seasoned Workforce LLC.
In the past six years Dave Tomm has spoken to dozens of groups and assemblies about the changing workforce. He brings humor and important messages about seasoned workers, critical changes facing the workforce and how important the seasoned worker is to the health of the economy in America. As a leading advocate for older workers, Dave has himself retired four times and simply doesn't like it.
