Are You a 50+ Marylander and On the Job Hunt?

Are you over age 50 and frustrated by your job search?  AARP is committed to helping experienced workers achieve their employment goals and help them turn dreams into real possibilities.  Bringing a rich history, experienced adults are more important to America's workforce than ever.

The Jewish Council for the Aging’s (JCA) Career Gateway Program can help you hone your resume, polish your networking and interviewing skills, use Internet job search resources more effectively, and turn your age and experience to your advantage.  Each session of the Career Gateway features 30 hours of small-group classroom instruction over five days, comprehensive take-home materials, practical exercises, and a long-term mentor.  The program fee is $75 and sessions are being held the week of January 20 and February 23.  Space is limited.

AARP Maryland has shown support for this program in the past by offering scholarship funds to pay for enrollment fees into this helpful program. For more information on the JCA Career Gateway Program, contact Ellen Greenberg or check out the  registration brochure.
