Mission
The mission of BRIDGES Employment Resource
Center is to provide services to dependable, mature workers that
will enhance their current job skills and provide new skills to
assist them to effectively bridge the transition into meaningful
employment.
Why BRIDGES?
Reaching "retirement age" doesn't always
mean "ready
for retirement." Americans
live longer and continue to
participate in the activities
and interests they have
always
enjoyed. Our concept
of retirement has changed. Many people 50 and
older choose to continue working past traditional retirement age
simply because they love to work, to be active and to be involved.
Some seek employment because of economic necessity.
BRIDGES Employment Resource Center can be
that "bridge' between retirement and employment. Our program can help
you explore your options, help you enhance your current skills, and
teach you valuable new skills to make you a viable candidate for a
new job position. |
