The Center for Workforce Inclusion

Our nation’s labor force is increasingly dependent on older workers. Over the last two decades, the share of the workforce aged 55 or older almost doubled. Older workers will represent more than 25% of our labor force by 2028. This is good news. Investing in older workers leads to more innovation, lower employee turnover, and overall better performance.

But only 4% of firms have committed to programs that help integrate older workers into their talent pool. And, while 70% of organizations say leading multigenerational workforces is important or very important for their success over the next 12-18 months, only 10% say they are very ready to address this trend.

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.
