Seminar helps boomers at work in Forsyth

A full-day seminar called "The Changing Workplace – Benefits and Challenges" will be held at the Cedar Hill Enrichment Center on Saturday Sept. 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This program will focus on the special challenges mid-lifers face in the workplace. While it is true that many industries try to ease older workers out in their 50s and 60s, there are some positive changes on the horizon as well. Learn about these coming opportunities, as well as solid tips for making yourself sellable in any situation.

Attendees will also learn about coming worker shortages and how to benefit, the increasing trend toward working from home, and what the hot jobs are now. They will learn how to reinvent themselves at any age, and how to transfer their skills to change fields.

The seminar leader is Kathleen McCormack, who recently authored "Transforming Your Future Using Extended Life Options", a pre-retirement guide, for the United Way of Tucson, Ariz. She also co-authored "Tips for Creating your Second Career". Kathleen consults in the areas of Career and Lifestyle Change for such companies as GE, Prudential and Aetna. She has received an master's degree in Human Resource Development and a certificate in Gerontology from Georgia State University.

"The Changing Workplace" is a joint presentation of AgeLess, Inc. and the Cedar Hill Enrichment Center.

The cost for the full day, including lunch, is $25. A grant from the United Way of Forsyth County is helping to offset the cost. Reservations can be made by calling 770-887-0051 or on the Cedar Hill web site at www.cedarhillenrichment.org.

Directions will be provided upon request when you RSVP.
