The William Way Community Center will be launching a new program for those 40 and older starting with a reception next week (April 23). SAGEWorks will officially become part of the centers senior programming. The work-readiness program is designed specifically for LGBT professionals who need or want to return to the work place.
Through this program, the center becomes a certified site for the AARP Foundations WorkSearch program, says Ed Miller, senior programs coordinator at the William Way, a set of online tools that let individuals virtually explore new careers, assess and improve work skills, identify training programs and find meaningful employment.
The SAGEWorks mission is to improve the capacity of LGBT adults over the age of 40 to remain productive, vital and contributing members of the nations work force. Not only will it assist people with technology and job skills, but it will help LGBT folks gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of job search strategies as well as community-based employment resources. It also offers lessons in financial planning and security.
