The YWCA Career Moves 55-64 Program

Entering the job market later in life can be exhilarating – but it can also be intimidating. If you’re age 55-64 and looking for new employment, this program will assist and support you in a group setting that teaches effective job search strategies, provides new confidence, and keeps you motivated. You will:

  • Create an employment action plan
  • Market your skills and experience
  • Develop competitive job search documents
  • Prepare for your next interview
  • Connect with employers
  • Enhance your computer skills

To find out if the program is right for you, consider the following:

  • Am I available to attend sessions Monday-Friday for twelve weeks?
  • Do I have a job goal?
  • Am I committed to finding work?
  • Am I ready to start work right away?
  • Am I or will I be between the ages of 55 and 64 years of age during the program?

During each session participants receive 30 hours of instruction per week for twelve weeks (six weeks instruction with hybrid learning and six weeks work experience)
