Available for Mature Workers With the School District.The School District of Palm Beach County, the large employer winner in our Inaugural Wisdom & Experience Works For Business Awards event, was nominated for the award because of their recruitment, retraining and retention of mature workers. Their commitment to mature workers is demonstrated by the fact that 44% of their employees are 50+ and their data has shown that teachers over 50 are 98% more effective. They have a career changers program to encourage those with long careers in other fields to transition to education. The School District also has workforce training on age discrimination and ageism prevention.
