Established in 1974 as an independent, not for profit, employment referral service the Seniors Job Bank has served Greater Hartford’s citizens, age 55+, for over 32 years. Our goal is to assist older workers find employment opportunities to satisfy their individual needs while at the same time providing a service for employers to easily identify talented workers. Our task is to match employees with available jobs. Actual employment is arranged between the individual and the employer.
Under the supervision of a dedicated Board of Directors, the staff of the Seniors Job Bank works with people 55 and older to explore employment opportunities based on each individuals experience, education, interest and needs. Programs are also developed to assist older workers in refreshing or acquiring new skills as well as providing services to our target population.
Employers are an important part of our operation as well. Working with businesses throughout Connecticut, employment opportunities (full time, part time, with and without benefits) are solicited and posted with the Seniors Job Bank. Employers appreciate the dedication and experience workers 55 and older bring to the workplace and use the Seniors Job Bank to tap into this valuable resource. This benefits our client/applicants because competition with younger workers is eliminated since employers are actively seeking an older worker through the Seniors Job Bank.
Still another advantage of the Seniors Job Bank is the wealth of skills available for those little things that need to get done. Many of the Seniors Job Bank employee/clients register with us to do small jobs such as carpentry, child care, drivers, electricians, general repair, painters, office workers and more. If you need someone for virtually any kind of work, chances are you can find the skill through the Seniors Job Bank. You also save money too since many of the small jobs can be done at very reasonable prices.
Our services are available through the generous support of many friends, foundations, community support and fund raising events. As a not for profit 501 (c)(3) organization contributions are tax deductible. Please see the “Financial Support” tab for more information about helping to continue the work of the Seniors Job Bank.
