Many life events can cause a sudden financial burden later in life,
friend - but state and federal programs often
don't provide enough assistance for older Americans to even
cover the costs of necessities like housing, food, and clothing.
That's why many older adults find themselves in need of a job
after never being in the workforce or being out of it for some time.
But getting back into the workforce can be challenging for many older
adults, especially those dealing with a lack of transportation access
or struggles with financial literacy.
Maggie was one of these struggling older adults. After 20 years in her
nursing job, she was no longer able to handle the physical strain of
her work. She was left feeling isolated as she survived on minimal
income from Social Security and struggled to pay for basic
necessities.
After she was referred to us, we helped Maggie come up with a plan and
the financial assistance to buy a used car and pursue more employment
opportunities. This helped her gain invaluable computer, customer
service, and other technical skills - and she landed a dream
paid internship with Habitat for Humanity!
With just a little help, so many other older adults can also develop
new skills and certifications and use their vast life experience to
achieve great professional success later in life.
This National Employ Older Workers Week, discover how we help people
like Maggie remember their value and reconnect with their capabilities
to succeed at work as they age.
