STRIDE for Older Workers

Supporting older workers to achieve sustainable employment

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.
