Why Mature Workers?
Older Workers can bring decades of experience, strong communication skills, and supervisory experience to a variety of workplaces. As outlined in a report on age-friendly workplaces by Employment and Social Development Canada, there are multiple benefits of recruiting someone who is older, despite the misconceptions that exist around this group.
Mission
Our Mission:
We seek to create strategic recommendations and tools which will enable employers and community stakeholders to recognize and leverage the value of the older worker.
