Job resources for seniors
Get connected to job and re-training programs in the City of Boston.
The ultimate goal of our Age-friendly work is to help residents live and age well in Boston. A big part of that is income security and the sense of purpose that comes from employment and continuing to develop skills.
These resources are a first step in a series of projects aimed at connecting older residents with employment help.
