Since 2007 the Seasoned WorkforceTM LLC has cosponsored dozens of forums for older workers in Maine. These programs are proving to be 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 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. ·Describe 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.
