Programme (Dates, Locations and Agenda)

The seminar is being offered as part of TAEN’s own national ‘Age Management’ Technical Assistance project and is aimed at all ESF projects which either specifically, or partially, target people aged 50+.

The seminar is designed for managerial staff involved in strategy, planning and delivery but would also benefit frontline staff working directly with participants. It will provide a contextual introduction to the main age and employment issues - including age and the law - and will consider how to work more effectively with older client groups. The content of the session is largely based on the preferences which providers in the region gave in response to our recent 50+ TA Survey.

The seminar is free for staff from organisations engaged in the current ESF funding round. Registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Please send any queries and the names of any participants from your organisation who will be attending to: hana.konopaskova@taen.org.uk .
