National Caucus and Center on Black Aged, Inc., Washington, DC.
This report describes a study that was undertaken to examine placement techniques and strategies that are effective in helping older workers find jobs. The study presents 23 case studies on successful older worker programs in 12 states. The information was gathered through on-site interviews and assembly of quantitative data. These case studies describe various placement strategies used to serve diverse client groups in different areas of the country and in varied economic environments. Programs participating in this study were Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) 3 percent programs for training older workers, the Senior Community Service Employment Programs funded under Title V of the Older Americans Act, displaced homemaker programs, and several programs with private-sector funding. The case studies are also analyzed to describe the program models operating in each type of program. Each case study includes a narrative, descriptive statistics, placement outcomes, and name and address of a contact person. (KC)
