“Ageing and Employable”
The Trinidad and Tobago Association of Retired Persons (TTARP) is pleased
to announce that we have partnered with Regency Recruitment and
Resources Limited on a focused initiative to provide job opportunities for
members aged fifty (50) and over, who are seeking employment.
Most employers seek experience and knowledge
when trying to fill a vacant position. TTARP
has a massive membership of almost 35,000
financial members aged fifty (50) and over, who
are professionals, tradesmen or other experts in
their fields. Therefore it is no surprise that many
employers searching for reliable, responsible
and honest employees have turned to TTARP for
applicants.
For the past year TTARP (through a committee
headed by Mr. Richard Young, former Managing
Director of ScotiaBank Trinidad Ltd/ Mrs. Coreen
Jones-Robinson former HR Manager of NP/ Mr.
Dave Cameron, band leader of Trini Revellers/
and Mrs. Mayling Younglao, Honorary Secretary
of TTARP,) has been engaged in discussions with
several leading employment agencies within
T&T. We were seeking an agency whose goals
are fused with ours, and we have found such a
partner with Regency Recruitment and Resources
Limited, a personal, dynamic employment agency
whose goals mirror ours.
Together, we aspire to provide opportunities for those persons who are
labeled as “seniors” not only
because of age but their expertise and skills in varied field.
This initiative is open to all TTARP Members (and also those who intend to
become TTARP members) to register in our Skills Bank in the “Ageing and
Employable” database for various categories of work. We also encourage
employers to consider “seniors” to fill any vacancy – permanent, temporary,
part-time, or contractual, and to request same from our database.
This partnership is quite timely, as The International Day of Older Persons
will be observed on October 1st and the theme for this year is “Take A Stand
Against Ageism”.
For further information, kindly contact TTARP 222-7912 / 622-9223 or
Regency Recruitment at 625-6225.
