Regional WeHa Agency Helps Seniors Find Jobs

Seniors Job Bank

WEST HARTFORD, CT — A regional nonprofit in West Hartford dedicated to helping those over 50 find work recently announced multiple service upgrades to help make that happen.

According to the Seniors Job Bank, located at 50 S. Main St., Suite 216, West Hartford, (West Hartford Town Hall), the organization has expanded its reach and offerings by "investing in strategic planning, IT upgrades, improved administrative services, and fundraising efforts."

The goal is to offer more job opportunities and more efficient systems and processes to link employers with employees.

Since 1974, SJB has been a free resource for people over 50 looking for work in the Greater Hartford community and for employers looking for experienced workers.

"The more than 650 jobseekers in SJB’s registry have a broad range of skills, talents, and abilities," wrote the organization in an announcement.

"Available for part-time, temporary and full-time positions, they bring a lifetime of experience, confidence, and reliability to businesses, municipalities and individuals."

The organization serves 24 towns across the Greater Hartford region.

“We are constantly looking at how we can enhance our services through automation. For example, registered job seekers can choose job categories that target their job interests and job owners receive an automated email when interested job seekers register for their positions,” said Robin Clare, executive director of SJB.
