The trainings provide senior citizens with the skills and knowledge they need to face the demands of the changing labor market/ShutterStock
There is no Israeli who was not affected by the Iron Swords War.
Hundreds of thousands of reservists were called to defend the country and many employers found themselves without workers to fill their place.
The recruitment in order 8 of the reservists led to a civil order 8 for senior citizens who had already retired and many of them returned to the labor market.
However, in the digital age in which we live, it is important to stay updated at any age, and especially in the older ages.
There is no way to exaggerate the importance of training for seniors, which in 2023 was higher than ever.
In the 21st century, the rate of innovation increases and increases in a way we have never known, and what was true five years ago is no longer relevant today, and who knows how soon what we know today will lose its relevance.
Girls and seniors have taken a significant part in development, production, service, and building the labor market in recent decades.
