27 pensioners involved in Vocational Education Programmes found employment in 2017

According to specialists of the State Employment Service, it is becoming more common for seniors to remain in the workplace much longer than in decades past, and so the demand for senior citizen vocational training is increasing. Some seniors are choosing to keep working longer before retirement. Others retire from their primary occupation, only to decide to go back to work at a later date.

While some older workers remain in the same occupations, many others are selecting different vocations during their senior years. Whether senior workers are interested in starting a new post-retirement career, or are simply choosing to postpone retirement, it is certainly in their best interest to make sure that their vocational skills are up-to-date.

There are many different opportunities to acquire new occupational skills. The State Employment Service offers programs and other resources for senior citizen vocational training classes.
