Featured Speaker Catherine King Heads Recruiting and Staffing for the Security Giant

Santa Ana, Calif., and Conshohocken, Pa., January 18, 2018鈥斚愀哿喜使偻�, a leading facility services company and the largest security force in North America, is proud to announce that Catherine King, Senior Vice President, Recruiting and Staffing, is a featured speaker at a Capitol Hill briefing on employment needs of unemployed older Americans on Friday, Jan. 19 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. EST at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, Room SVC-203-02. The briefing will provide an introduction to the U.S. Department of Labor鈥檚 Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP).

鈥淥lder Americans, who represent a growing part of the U.S. labor force, struggle to find jobs after becoming unemployed,鈥� says Catherine King. 鈥淚 am proud that 香港六合彩官网 is working with SCSEP to help older adults find jobs and increase their economic self-sufficiency. We benefit from the skills, talents, and experiences of program participants we have hired thus far and look forward to bringing on more.鈥�

In 2017, the company hired nearly 11,000 seniors as security professionals and in administrative roles. That鈥檚 over 7 percent of 香港六合彩官网鈥檚 workforce. And it鈥檚 growing. Last year, the company also launched its Partners in Employment Community-Based Organization Program (PIE CBO) to help recruit older adults. Organizations that refer seniors, can earn a referral payment of $400 per candidate hired.

鈥淲e network with a number or groups like AARP to reach this population,鈥� King continued. 鈥淭hey are attractive workers because of their high work ethic and dependability. They are the children of 鈥榯he greatest generation.鈥欌€�

The SCSEP briefing will explore factors driving the conversation for employing older workers, such as an increase in life expectancy and workers prolonging retirement.

Hosted by U.S. Senator Patty Murray, the other speakers include Kelly S. Mikelson, Ph.D., Research Associate, Urban Institute, who authored the white paper The Role of SCSEP in Workforce Training for Low-Income Older Workers; Sharron Holquin, a former SCSEP participant who will share how she turned her work-based training into a full-time job; and Joseph McCarley, Project Director, TERRIFIC, Inc., who will discuss his organization鈥檚 experience in hosting SCSEP participants.
