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.

PushBack at Parkinson’s Disease is a medically advised, community supported exercise program for people with Parkinson’s Disease. People with PD need extra support for meaningful exercise. When they get that support, they feel better, move better and have a better quality of life. YOU can help. Volunteer exercise partners are essential to PushBack. It only takes a little bit of training to be a partner and in return, you have a lot of fun, make friends, and make a huge impact. Classes are currently running in Winooski, Essex, Barre, and Middlebury. Email Maggie Holt (Margaret.holt@uvmhealth.org) if you are interested or have questions.
