Making the most of opportunities for older workers

Abstract

Our future economic success will depend on developing and drawing effectively on the talents, experience and skills of older workers. The South East's groundbreaking 40‐70 Tomorrow's Workforce Programme has assisted 3,500 older workers and over 500 employers in the region and has influenced a Department for Work and Pensions decision to commission national good practice guidance for their service providers, including a section on ‘employer engagement’ based on the South East ‘business first’ model.
