Wise Owls - the UK's first and leading Baby Boomer website offering employment and self-employment opportunities alongside information and business support to 45-65 year olds - is now seeking partners in applying for Article Six funding to support an EU-wide programme of research into ageism.
The long term aims of the project are to: promote older workers to employers; provide an integrated approach to training and job brokerage for older workers (50+); and to build an integrated website and best practice guide aimed at developing older worker organisations in every EU member state.
