Join us by phone or on Facebook on Thursday, January 15 at 10:00 am for a conversation about mature workers and how they can use local resources to learn new skills, re-enter the workforce, or find jobs consistent with their interests and abilities. We’ll discuss career tips, job-search tools, and professional resources that every experienced worker can use to sharpen their skills or get hired. AARP knows that people are living and working longer, and experienced workers bring expertise, maturity, and perspective. Experienced workers should have a level playing field in their ability to compete for, obtain, and retain jobs, so we have invited Associates for Training and Development, or A4TD, to join us on our call.

Renters can claim the credit, too, on the assumption that a portion of property tax is passed on to them in rent.
