How can providers help older immigrants join the workforce?
How can older immigrants contribute to their new community?
To help answer these questions, Senior Service America and the Center for Applied Linguistics have produced A Guide for Providers: Engaging Immigrant Seniors in Community Service and Employment Programs. This publication offers practical advice, activities and resources designed to help older immigrants reduce their isolation, and build communications and job-related skills.
Publication of the book comes at a time of accelerated immigration. The 2000 Census estimated the foreign-born population in the United States at about 31 million -- 11 percent of the total population. Providing services to and opportunities for older immigrants is more important now that ever before.
This publication was made possible through the collaborative efforts of many individuals and organizations who care deeply about aging and the growing diversity of our nation.
