STRIDE for Older Workers
Skills Training Results in Directed Education / Employment (STRIDE)
We support older workers to achieve sustainable employment through skills training and employment supports.
STRIDE is designed to help clients make informed career decisions and explore occupations best suited to their strengths, interests, and transferable skills.
Older workers have a wealth of knowledge and experience. STRIDE helps them gain valuable skill enhancement through workshops and work experience leading to sustainable employment.
