The BC Chamber of Commerce has joined business leaders across Canada and renamed an entire generation in a bid to help more employers find and hire experienced workers who are only in the "third quarter" of their lives.
"Today people turn 50 and aim for 100. At 50 they are just entering the third quarter of life and work. And they make that third quarter count by bringing emotional maturity and a strong work ethic to re-invest in the workplace," said BC Chamber of Commerce President & CEO John Winter, Thursday.
Winter unveiled the ThirdQuarter program and www.thirdquarter.ca, designed to connect savvy employers, who value experience, with people in their 50s and 60s who want to reverse or delay their retirement plans.
