In most cases, A4AA makes services available to the seniors in our Planning and Service Area through contracting with local senior service providers. These are experts in the various fields of care who through a competitive bid process, won the right to provide those services to seniors throughout our seven counties. These programs are closely monitored by Area 4 Agency on Aging Program Managers, and may change with our four-year grant cycle. Additionally, Area 4 Agency on Aging runs some programs “in-house”. These include the A4AA satellite office in Grass Valley; the Senior Employment Program in Sacramento and Placer counties and the InfoVan which travels throughout our seven-county Planning and Service Area (PSA). Senior Employment Program Launched in January 2003, the A4AA Senior Employment Program helps find jobs for anyone over the age of 55 in Sacramento and southern Placer counties. Savvy employers know many seniors are healthy, fit, and willing - and bring to the workplace experience, commitment, and a well-honed work ethic. In an era of shrinking work forces, employers value the older worker and welcome the chance to collaborate with Area 4 Agency on Aging on innovative employment. Job sharing, for instance, satisfies the employer (who gets two sets of energies and talents – often without the need to pay expensive benefits) as well as the senior employee (who may not need benefits and only wants to work part-time). Two staff persons act as Job Developers in the Senior Employment Program, as well as providing Job-Readiness workshops which teach Application, Résumé and Interview techniques. Job resource information is available, and computer training is by referral. If you live in Sacramento or southern Placer counties, are over the age of 55 and seeking a job, contact Senior Employment at (916) 486-1876.
