Description:
In this episode, I am speaking with Laurel McDowell, who is the Project Coordinator for Manpower’s Mature Worker Program which focuses on job connections for tenured job seekers. This is a program that targets mature workers, who primarily want to work project work, part-time, remote, or some combination of all of the above.
Please read Laurel’s bio:
Laurel McDowell is Project Coordinator for Manpower’s Mature Worker Program which focuses on job connections for tenured job seekers. Laurel retired in 2019 after a 27-year career in the field of Manpower in Management and Project Teams. Manpower Executive Management, in their wisdom, realized that there was a wealth of knowledge about to walk out the door forever, and so to continue to benefit from Laurel’s knowledge, expertise, and ideas they found a way to retain Ms. McDowell in a position that was relevant to her, interested her and met her needs and preferences at this stage of her life.
As an “unretiree,” Laurel can relate to seasoned talent and works to connect them with opportunities that fit their skills and goals.
Prior to Manpower, Laurel excelled in a 25-year career in Retail Management and also originated, and was the President of, a hospitality corporation. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Edinboro State University as well as other specialty certifications. Currently, she is a contributing participant of the Living, Learning & Earning Longer AARP-sponsored international consortium, and a member of the Encore Network. Representing the Program, she has been featured by Fox News, Wall Street Journal, AARP, Business Insider, SHRM magazine, and other publications and podcasts.
This program primarily targets workers who have retired or are planning to retire but want to continue to work. This includes a wide range of industries and positions and as you will hear Laurel and her team are in high touch. They will help you along in your journey.
