Targeted Initiative for Older Workers (TIOW) Activities
Participants must spend 25 hours per week in the following activities:
- TIOW includes a combination of activities like understanding potential work options, resume writing, interview techniques, informational interviewing, conducting a targeted job search, and basic familiarity with computers to enhance your job search.
- TIOW participants must also complete a minimum of two Employability activities such as specific skills upgrading, employer-based work experience, placement incentives to access employment, preparation for self-employment.
Training allowances, travel assistance, and living allowances may also be available for qualified participants.
Interested participants should attend an Information Session to explore the Targeted Initiative for
Older Workers, followed by one or more one-on-one sessions, to explore whether TIOW is the most
appropriate way to find employment. Call to register for an Information Session.
