| Annotation | The myths and age-related barriers that currently deter employers from training workers of different ages are examined. While the focus is on older workers (age 50+), younger workers (aged up to 25) also experience discrimination in access to training, so the authors review the evidence relating to different age groups. This summary provides the evidence and practical guidance on the variety of training support channels and on age diverse training practices. This research is one of a number of projects commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on behalf of the Age Partnership Group (APG) as part of the National Guidance Campaign (NGC).
