The Growth Company and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) have launched an eight-week programme to help employers support their 50+ workforce.
The Midlife MOT project will allow Greater Manchester employers, regardless of sector or size, to access professional support for members of staff over 50 years of age. The project will provide group and one-to-one advice and guidance sessions, on subjects including training provision, health and wellbeing support, and advice on finances and pensions. Webinars will be held weekly for employers to take part.
The Midlife MOT Project will also provide a one stop webpage for information.
The project is being also supported by the National Careers Service, NHS and Money and Pensions Advise Service. It aims to encourage older workers to take stock of their current situation and plan for the future, so that they can stay healthy and secure in the years to come.
The first webinar will take place on Wednesday 17th March at 3pm and will explore the support on offer and how employers can access this.
The National Careers Service will take attendees through the specialised support on offer for SMEs and their employees aged 50+, to help them upskill, retrain, achieve their career goals and find the right work/life balance.
The session is free to attend; to book your place visit the Midlife MOT Eventbrite page.
