UPGRADING CREDENTIALS AND SKILLS TO ENSURE EMPLOYABILITY TODAY AND TOMORROW P.A. Cummins1, S. Kunkel, PhD2, T. Yamashita3, 1. Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, United States, 2. Scripps Gerontology Center, Oxford, Ohio, USA, 3. University Maryland Baltimore County, Baltimore, Maryland, USA Maintaining current skills, especially technology skills, is important for workers of all ages. By 2020, an estimated 65% of jobs will require postsecondary education and training, a substantial increase from 28% in 1973. Nonetheless, 2017 data from the Current Population Survey indicate that only 46% of the 25 – 64 age group in the U.S. had an associate’s degree or higher and the rate for ages 50 – 64 is even lower at 43%. PIAAC data suggest that low-income and unemployed older adults in the U.S. are less likely to participate in training than in other developed countries, especially those in the 45 – 54 age group. In addition, older age groups are less likely to use the computer for complex tasks and to have the computer skills required for their job compared to their younger counterparts. This presentation will discuss the role community colleges play in providing older adults with educational opportunities.
