50+ Works is a good practice guide for welfare to work providers supporting 50+ jobseekers.

TAEN has developed the guide in association with the Department for Work and Pensions and the European Social Fund.  The material in 50+ Works has been provided by people who work at the frontline and is based on research on what was needed and what was known.

The guide is currently a prototype and will be developed further.  TAEN welcomes comments from providers and hopes they will share their know-how and experience.  Please email comments to info@taen.org.uk

The guide provides information on:

• Jobseeker characteristics
• Confidence and motivation
• The customer journey
• Finding work
• Training and skills
• Networking and referrals
• Engaging with employers
• Adviser /trainer skills
• Age and the law
• Finance
• Useful links
