Job seekers - Mature Age Employment

“If it weren’t for Jobcare, I wouldn’t be here now. They helped me find a new direction and gave me the confidence to approach a respected employer who I am now working for.”
Margaret – a participant from an earlier program.

Jobcare leads the way in Mature Age Employment.

Jobcare is leading the way in helping mature age workers find employment with companies who value experience and loyalty. Funded by the State Government’s Community Jobs Plan – Employment Assistance, Jobcare has developed a job search program especially for mature age people.

About the Program

Each program provides for flexibility but follows a framework of 4 mornings per week over 5 weeks. We limit the places to 12 participants to maximise individual attention and facilitate group involvement. Each participant is given comprehensive workbook with many extra handouts. We have a bank of computers for preparing resumes, selection criteria and covering letters and the Internet for searching company information. Throughout the program we use several career aides that allow you to consider interests and skills that you may not previously have used in the workplace.
