What's new on 50+ Works
May 2012
ESF Projects Successfully Engaging with the Over-50s
Read this for tips and advice on working successfully with the 50+. It looks at what is different about working with them, what the common barriers are, and how their expectations may differ from those of other age groups.

Government Employment Programmes
This information note from the TUC sets out the main publicly funded employment progammes for people out of work.
About this guide
Our focus is on the 50+ jobseeker because the success rate of back to work support with this age group has not been as good as with other ages.
Of course, this is not always the case. There are success stories where helpful support has made the difference to someone's life.
This is where you come in. It is why your job is so important.
