▶ BACK TO WORK 50+ COACHING
The AARP Foundation, the charitable affiliate of AARP, serves vulnerable people 50 and older by creating and advancing effective solutions that help them secure the essentials. BACK TO WORK 50+ Coaching, this nationwide initiative makes it easier for unemployed and under-employed older adults, especially individuals with incomes less than $40,000/year, to improve their job search skills under
the guidance of trained career coaches. The Overview Workshop (formerly 7SS Workshop), followed by a Job Campaign Coaching cohort helps individuals over age 50 use a job campaign checklist, worksheets, and videos to set up and launch a job search plan for today’s economy.
