Supporting Older Workers and the Previously Retired

Event

This event has ended

This roundtable features a panel of experts on how to help older workers navigate today's job market as they keep working or return to the workforce.

The rising cost of living and historic inflation have forced many older adults to extend their working years or “un”-retire to cover the cost of basic expenses. As older adult labor force participation continues to grow post-COVID, many will face barriers to securing employment in traditional and non-traditional markets.

Join an NCOA roundtable to hear a panel of experts discuss:

  • Barriers older workers confront as they extend their working years or return to employment
  • Federal, state, and local solutions that can ease the path to employment
  • What organizations can do to support this population
