Low Income? Need Job Training? Try Experience Works

Friday July 17, 2009
filing - Peter Skadberg - sxc.jpgIt can be hard to find a job when your job skills are limited, and this is especially true for low-income workers who may not be able to afford the classes they need qualify for a job. That's where Experience Works comes in.

Experience Works is a national, nonprofit organization that offers job training, job placement, and community service experience for people over 55 who want to enter the workforce or change careers. Through a federally-funded program, older workers are trained and placed with community service agencies and paid a wage to earn while they learn. And community organizations get the valuable help they need. It's a win for everyone.

Learn more about Experience Works, which has helped more than 55,000 low income older workers find jobs in the past 10 years.
