The Grand Rapids Community College Encore Careers Project, with funding from the MetLife Foundation and Civic Ventures, is a program designed to prepare persons 50 and older for entry level careers in the growing health care field.
By developing basic computer skills, resume writing, interview skills, and the ability to search the internet, participants will be well on their way to developing the 21st century skills needed for a rewarding Encore Career. An Encore Career is a one that makes a difference in your community, is filled with personal meaning, provides you with continued income, and takes into account your talents and experience.

• Are you willing to accept an entry level position?
If you answered “yes” to these questions, you are ready to take the next step and fill out an application. Applicants will be screened for potential entry into the program.
