AARP: Work & Retirement This is a collection of articles and resources covering various topics in work and employment for older people. Issues discussed include discrimination, career changes, retirement, and starting your own business. While looking at these resources, take some time to look at AARP’s National Employer Team, a list of member organizations who recognize the value of the more experienced worker and actively recruit and hire older workers.
Encore Careers This site encourages older persons to pursue second careers to provide personal fulfillment doing paid work and producing a windfall of human talent to solve society’s problems. There are no jobs listed but there are examples, suggestions, fellowships, and an extensive network of like-minded individuals who have been there and done that and are now interested in making a change in a way that serves society and others. This site is operated by Civic Ventures, a group working to engage the baby boomer generation as a vital workforce for change.
