Are you 50+ and looking for work, a career change or gig work? Join us to learn about resources for the 50+

While many people across Colorado are looking for work, the 50+ population seeking jobs is growing annually in Colorado. According to the Society of Human Resource Management, the fastest growing segment of the workforce is the 75+ population with the 65-74 age bracket in second place. Why people choose to work longer is variable – some to enhance their retirement savings, some to ensure access to health care or funds to apply to health needs, and others because they enjoy the social interaction and mental stimulation.  

Join us and meet five companies that are committed to enhancing opportunities for the 50+ population to find meaningful work matching their expertise and skills with people and companies that appreciate the value of the mature worker and an older adult!
