WorkSearch Can Help.

Welcome to the AARP Foundation WorkSearch web site. Whether you're looking to re-enter the workforce or upgrade from your current job, you've come to the right place. The AARP Foundation has a broad array of services to help older workers find more meaningful employment. In addition to providing access to skills assessment and training, the AARP Foundation can even connect qualified individuals with on-the-job training at companies that value your experience and dedication.

Mature workers will be an integral part of the U.S. economy for years to come. By 2010, one in three workers will be over the age of 50. As the relatives proportions of younger workers declines, it will be vital to ensure that older workers are prepared to meet the skill demands of the 21st-century workplace. AARP Foundation is dedicated to helping you and other qualified mature workers maximize your employment and earning potential in the workforce.
