Economic Opportunity for Adults 50+

Our nation’s labor force is increasingly dependent on older workers. By 2028 workers aged 55 or older will represent more than 25% of our labor force. But only 4% of firms have committed to programs that help integrate older workers into their talent pool.

Recruiting and training older workers is critical to the success of employers, job seekers, and communities. The Center for Workforce Inclusion, with 60 years of experience, is leading the way. Since our founding, we have empowered nearly 500,000 clients to attain in-demand skills, overcome barriers to employment, and secure employment with more than 5,000 employers in industries that range from financial services, hospitality, and office administration to social services, health care, transportation, and manufacturing.

Skills that matter

Digital Certification Program (DCP)

A cornerstone of our current work is addressing the bias related to age and technology – that older workers are not digitally savvy and that they do not want to learn digital skills. The DCP is a cutting-edge program empowers older job seekers with in-demand skills and a means to showcase those skills to potential employers through certification.
