Achieving success with older jobseekers: Training services for welfare to work providers
People aged 50+ will represent a significant proportion of those referred to welfare to work providers under the Work Programme. The percentage of over-50s out of work for 12 months or more remains the highest of any age group. Nearly half of those claiming incapacity benefits are aged over 50. Yet most providers have little experience of working with people aged 50+. Few have achieved the same level of success with this age group as they have with younger people.
