Are you a retiree who’s thinking about an “encore” to your previous work career? Whether you’re looking to pursue a life-long hobby in the form of a paid position, looking for a chance to engage in a wholly different kind of work, or are facing the challenges of cost increases due to inflation, today’s world of work is an opportune time to re-engage in the workforce. Many employers are offering more flexible schedules and wages have never been higher.

The Retiree Workforce Group hosts events focused on helping retirees learn how to connect with employers and what type of opportunities exist for re-engaging in the workforce. This year we’re proud to bring the “Reimaging Retirement” series with THREE free events scheduled for March 19th, March 26th, and April 2nd.
