For one thing, people are living longer and healthier lives. That excuse is moot for the general population as well as the 50 and over population. There are possibly many other myths to dispel. However, the Senior Employment Program can override every one of them. The only requirement for the Senior Employment Program is that the applicant be 55 years of age or older.
People usually come in as a last resort.
They have tried finding a job and the problems seem bigger than they arethemselves. That is where the Senior Employment Program comes into play. The SEP acts as a liaison between employers and applicants. Employers call them asking for qualified people 55 and over because of their expertise, experience, dependability, maturity level, and people skills. SEP offers, free of charge, an annual job fair exclusive to people 55 and over, a job seekers workshop, resume and interviewing skills, and a job club which meets weekly.
