Think 50+? Think @PRIMECymru. 👋
We are Wales's only charity specialising in supporting the over 50s into work.
After 30 years in IT, Stephen Landry faced an uncertain future when he found himself facing early retirement.
Having received support from @PRIMECymru in the past, he knew exactly where to turn for help as he prepared to start a new chapter.👋

We've launched a new Age-Inclusive Employer Covenant, to recognise the skills, experience, reliability and diversity that people aged 50 and over bring to the workplace.

We’re so pleased to see airlines recognising and highlighting the valuable contribution older people can make in the workplace.
Throughout our lives, we build up a wealth of skills, knowledge and experience - all of which can be shared, transferred and valued by employers.

Nearly a decade after receiving mentoring, Caroline reconnected with @PRIMECymru at an event in Swansea. It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how far she has come and the positive impact her business is now making in the lives of others.

Age-based disadvantage, prejudice and stereotyping within digital contexts create barriers in many aspects of older people’s lives, including accessing services, recruitment and employment, learning opportunities and even social activities. It is crucial that we take action together to prevent digital ageism and tackle the dangerous inequality that is already arising from it to ensure older people’s rights are protected. Book your place now!
