| Annotation | This contribution from a Jobcentre Plus practitioner focuses on government policies and draws on first-hand experience, to explore the role of governments in facilitating employment for older workers who are currently unemployed. The policies themselves are outlined and some problematic issues are considered. Two case studies point up the importance of local initiatives within the national framework. Other key aspects include: assessing and meeting individuals' needs, whether among the younger or older out-of-work; encouraging older people to change expectations about themselves; and a measure of age diversity in training provision.
