Job Support & Employment
With the rising cost of living, it may not be feasible to stop working after retirement age or unplanned job loss. Age Concern is pleased to offer a new life-skills initiative in tandem with our client service programme to assist in connecting seniors with workforce development and support.
The best place to start is with the Department of Workforce Development. They provide ongoing support and services for people looking to develop their skills and reintegrate into the workforce. Visit their website or call 297-7714 to learn more about their current offerings. Topics may include computer basics, work ethic, interview skills, communication skills, and more.
Next, be sure to update your resume and create a profile on the Bermuda Job Board website. If you would like assistance updating your resume, contact Age Concern Bermuda at 238-7525 ext. 2005 or email clientservices@ageconcern.bm to set up an appointment with our client services team.
