Tied to the Heldrich Center’s work for the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy, the Heldrich Center conducted research in 2012-2013 on current practices on serving older workers at community colleges. The study included an in-depth examination of initiatives and programs of particular relevance to older workers at community colleges: those that serve dislocated workers and those that serve students with disabilities. The research included a thorough review of existing literature on community college practices related to older workers, including dislocated workers and students with disabilities.
