Senior Employment Services

Looking for reliable workers?  There is a resource for you!

The Senior Employment Service acts as a referral service matching employers with prospective employees.  The process is simple…both parties are required to fill-out brief forms which are reviewed by an employment counselor.  There are no service fees.

Middle-aged and retired workers show up on time, stay on the job, do not waste time, do a day’s work for a day’s pay, have experience and capabilities, take pride in their work, are loyal and courteous, are willing to learn new skills, and accept new challenges.  They have less absenteeism, handle job stress better, have fewer accidents, and bring unmatched experience to the work place.

Mature workers are the biggest source of dependable, qualified help in the job market.  Let us enable them to contribute their experiences and skills.  They qualify for a variety of jobs such as: assemblers, accountants, cashiers, file clerks, salespersons, security guards, secretaries, shipping/receiving clerks, typists, and more.
