The "Exclusion of the Third Power" association, which promotes the issue of employment of the older population in Israel, held a special course for senior citizens, during which the skills and abilities of the participants were tested, as well as the motivations that drive them to action.
The participants of the course learned about the needs and demands of the renewed working world, and about the POWER SKILLS or the soft skills (verbal communication, self-learning ability, analysis and research, written communication, mental flexibility and self-management).
In addition, they learned to speak a new language - "language of skills", received assistance in revising their resumes and received training for job interviews.
"Through workshops and meetings, we want to establish a 'community of people with skills' that will be a resource for its members to find suitable employment," said Rivi Beller, CEO of the association "Vahder Hakok the third". And that many and good ones like them are in the same boat with them, giving a spirit of support and a kind of security in the process of looking for employment that will suit them.
One of the biggest obstacles facing adults in the job search process is their own ageism.
When we talk about 'skills' instead of 'experience' or 'resume' age takes on a different meaning, a meaning that allows us to make the connection to the world of work without referring to external factors or variables such as age.
It's a change in perception that is easier to implement within a group."
