Over55

Over 55 Skills At Work is a London, Ontario-based nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering adults aged 55 and older by helping them start and grow small businesses in home repairs, renovations, housekeeping, and support services. Since 1986, the organization has provided training, resources, and support to individuals seeking to turn their skills and experience into successful ventures. Their programs offer free online training focusing on soft skills like communication and teamwork, as well as business essentials such as time management and digital literacy. Additionally, Over 55 Skills At Work connects clients with pre-screened contractors who carry valid insurance and police checks for various home support services. This initiative not only assists older adults in achieving financial independence but also fosters a sense of purpose and community engagement.
