Searching for outstanding older worker
Experience Works, the nation's largest training and employment organization for mature workers, is accepting nominations for Pennsylvania's outstanding older worker for 2008 in an effort to raise awareness of the contributions of older individuals and to break down barriers associated with the hiring of older workers.
Nominees must be 65 years of age or older, a resident of Pennsylvania, currently employed and working at least 20 hours per week for pay. This year's search is sponsored by Home Instead Senior Care.
Deadline for nominations is June 1. Older workers can nominate themselves. Nomination forms can be accessed online at www.experienceworks.org, or by calling 800-854-1578.
