Recharge! Program for Metro Detroiters Age 45+ Wanting to Reinvent their Working Lives Begins Sept. 9
Gesher Human Services, one of the largest human service agencies in metro Detroit, will be offering Recharge! a career development program for adults 45 years and older, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to noon, Sept. 9-25. The program will be held at the nonprofit agency’s headquarters in Southfield (29699 Southfield Road) and is being offered to assist the increasing number of older workers wanting to reinvent their working lives, or in the case of retirees, get back into the workforce.
A report by the Employee Benefit Research Institute looking at trends in the US labor force found that from 1981-2023, the share of the labor force of Americans ages 55 or older became increasingly larger. The greatest increase in the labor force share was attributed to those aged 65 to 69 years old.
