In August, SJN is hosting two informational presentations (as compared to skill devlopment ones) aimed at sharing resources and initiatives for job seekers.
See our website Events Calendar for program descriptions for SJN events through the end of November.
Join us on Tues, Aug 19, 9-11:30 AM to learn about:
STATE OF AZ WORK FORCE INITIATIVE
Peter Polk, Retired Healthcare Executive and Member, Governor’s Task Force on Aging, Mature Worker Initiative, will discuss the actions being taken by the State of Arizona to promote hiring and retaining the mature worker. Peter has served on the State Mature Workforce committee for the past 6 years, and continues his involvement.
Participants will hear about the changing landscape of work, more generations are working side-by-side, competition for talent is escalating, costs of replacing experienced workers, productivity and business results are linked to work environment, benefits of a multi-generational work place. Tapping into his experience as an executive in healthcare, Peter believes people are more likely to hire you if they like you = keep a positive attitude. How to fit in applies to everyone, not just the mature worker.
Meetings are held at Temple Chai in Phoenix.
We hope to see you then!
