JAWS Older Workers

The Future of JAWS

JAWS is dedicated to empowering older adults in Colorado Springs by providing meaningful career opportunities, professional training, and pathways to new careers. With a strong military presence in the region, many individuals are looking to transition from military life or take on second careers. JAWS aims to meet this need by offering specialized training and resources tailored to older workers, allowing them to develop valuable skills, re-enter the workforce, or transition into new fields.
The program envisions a future where age is no barrier to career growth, empowering older adults with the tools to thrive in dynamic industries and meet workforce demands. By focusing on skill-building, mentorship, and hands-on experience, JAWS is shaping a more inclusive workforce and strengthening the community with the knowledge, resilience, and dedication that older workers bring.
