# Event Details - **Event Name**: MAX Academy: Age as an Asset in the Workforce - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 20 Nov, 2025 at 10:00 am – Thu, 20 Nov, 2025 at 03:30 pm - **Event Description**: In partnership with WorkSource Georgia, join our MAX Academy to explore how to help older workers in these times!About this EventIn today's rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations are increasingly recognizing the value of a diverse workforce. One crucial dimension of diversity is age, which brings a wealth of benefits to teams and companies. Rather than viewing age as a barrier, forward-thinking organizations understand that employees of all ages contribute unique perspectives, skills, and experiences that are invaluable to success.Older workers in particular often possess a deep well of experience and institutional knowledge. Years of working in various roles and industries equip them with the ability to foresee challenges, navigate complex situations, and mentor younger colleagues. This experience can help organizations avoid costly mistakes and streamline processes, as seasoned professionals frequently know what works and what doesn’t.Sessions confirmed for the Academy include:Review of the Older Workforce in the Atlanta RegionState and Federal Resources to Support the Older Workforce*How Providers Are Supporting the Older WorkforceAligning the Multigenerational Workforce*IMPORTANT NOTE: A funding freeze in July 2025 halted operations for the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), a decades-long, proven work-based job training program for older, low-income Americans. The termination of this program has led to significant gaps in financial support, job training, and employment services for these individuals. During this MAX Academy, we will explore how workforce providers can help address the gaps.Confirmed speakers include Dr. Ann Carpenter, Chief Research & Innovation Officer, Atlanta Regional Commission; Theo Gilbert-Jamison, Author, Keynote Speaker, Consultant, and Executive Coach, Performance Solutions by Design, Inc.; Rachael Hunton, Advocate for Older Workers, Georgia Department of Human Services, Division of Aging Services; Cynthia Roman, Vice President, Family Stabilization and Well Being Department, Latin American Association; and Roderick Wyatt, Deputy Director, Atlanta Center for Self Sufficiency.The Academy will also include a brief update on the SNAP Works Program from Trey Benham, Georgia SNAP Works Manager, Goodwill of North Georgia.This MAX Academy will take place on Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM, at Atlanta Metropolitan State College. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.LEARNING OBJECTIVESAs a result of this training, participants will be able to:Recognize the common challenges that older workers may face in the workplace.Learn about resources available to support older workers in addressing their challenges.Explore the gifts, talents, expertise, and knowledge that older individuals bring to the workplace.Identify ways to foster intergenerational collaboration where different age groups work together effectively and collaboratively.CREDENTIALED TRAININGThis MAX Academy has been approved by the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) as training counting toward continuing education hours (CEUs) for Certified Rehabilitation Counselors (CRCs).
