Mature


Mature job seekers (those aged over 50) need assistance that recognises their individual circumstances. Many may need training or skills updates, while others need more intensive help to get them work-ready. Some are grandparents with primary child-care responsibilities and need extra assistance. Others find they are overlooked because some employers regard them as too old.

Whatever their situation, Jobs Statewide always works with mature job-seekers to identify their skills, needs and options. We develop a personal plan that could include education and training options, work experience and programs to address social issues that can affect the ability to enter or remain in the workforce.
