Description
This good practice guide is based on the report Industry restructuring and job loss: helping older workers get back into employment by Victor J Callan and Kaye Bowman. The aim of the research was to identify evidence-based practices that led to successful skills transfer, re-skilling, training and the attainment of new jobs for older workers displaced from often lower-skilled jobs in the manufacturing industries. This guide informs employers, employment placement agencies and related support services, training providers and overall coordinating agencies in the design of programs that help displaced older workers find new jobs.
