Representatives from national advocacy group AARP, information hub and event organizer for over-50s Next for Me, and intergenerational homeshare matching service Silvernest join Senator Jackson for a forum discussing the challenges facing older job applicants and how to successfully market during the hiring process the benefits these workers can bring to a company.
