Experience Works
Established as Green Thumb in 1965, and renamed in 2002, Experience Works
is a national, nonprofit organization that offers training, employment,
and community service opportunities for mature workers. This includes
a variety of programs designed to help mature individuals enter the workforce,
secure more challenging positions, move into new career areas, or supplement
their incomes.
Senior Community Service Employment Program The largest program offered by Experience Works is the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP). This program, funded under Title V of the Older Americans Act, enables us to help thousands of low-income individuals, age 55 and older, throughout the United States. Through this program, job-ready seniors are placed directly into employment, while other seniors benefit from training, counseling, and community service assignments at nonprofit organizations and public agencies in their communities, prior to transitioning into the workforce. SCSEP participants gain valuable new skills and experience that help them secure meaningful employment and provide valuable services to their host agencies and communities. Experience WorksSM Staffing Services 
Mason Guydelkon, 70 Paraprofessional ArchaeologistExperience Works staffing service is the only national staffing service focused on the employment needs of older workers. Through this service, Experience Works places skilled, mature individuals in temporary, temporary-to-permanent, and direct employment that makes the most of their experience, dependability, and strong work ethic. At the same time, Experience Works helps businesses by filling their workforce needs with workers who bring diverse talents, integrity, common sense, and skills from their years of experience. Experience WorksSM Training Services Continuous learning, keeping one's skills current and building new skills, is more important than ever in today's workforce. Experience Works offers a wide variety of technology-training services, where we use a combination of instructor-led, facilitated, or self-paced computer-skills training that may involve classrooms, computer labs, packaged training or training via the Internet. Experience Works also offers a number of job-related training programs that include industry-specific programs for areas such as home health care, agriculture, security, customer service, and small-business development. Geezer.com is an e-commerce Web site that provides senior artisans and crafters a nationwide market for their unique, handcrafted goods, even if they don't own a computer. Geezer.com lists thousands of products made by hundreds of seniors from nearly every corner of the country. Visit www.geezer.com. Experience WorksSM Prime Time Awards Program Experience Works Prime Time Awards Program is a year-long effort to recognize the contributions of older workers at the local, state, and national level. The effort is capped by a week of activities in Washington, D.C., honoring America's Oldest Worker, outstanding employers of older workers, and outstanding older workers from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. In addition to our national capabilities, we also offer a variety of
services targeted to the unique needs of local markets. Local services
include home health care, landscaping, home repair, administration of
workforce centers, welfare-to-work programs, a statewide older worker
information clearinghouse, and more. These services may be offered to
a community, a county, or even an entire state, depending on local needs.
