ASSETS Senior Employment Opportunities Program
 
 
For the Employer
 

Today, more than two in five Americans in the labor force are age 40 or older and 21% of the workforce is over 50. ASSETS Senior Employment Opportunities Program, has successfully matched employers with mature workers since 1969. At no cost to you—ASSETS will recruit, screen and train a mature worker to match your agency, company, or organization’s needs. We provide follow-up job assistance for a full year after the worker is hired.

“ASSETS, the name says it all. This program provides help, hope, and the prospect of returning to the workplace.”
Roland Stirrup Program Graduate
