Support Continuing Education for Careers that Do Good

America faces tremendous challenges today, from our struggling schools to our hurting environment. At the same time, we have a huge pool of talented and experienced people uniquely positioned to face these challenges, but only if we're willing to give them the support they need to make a difference.

Nearly 10,000 people are turning 60 every day, and millions of them want to dedicate their passion and experience to encore careers -- work that combines purpose, passion and a paycheck in the second half of life.

But for so many, the transition to encore careers is too costly. We need to eliminate financial barriers to work that could make such a big difference for us all -- changes including new savings options, more financial aid for older students, more opportunities for career training people can afford.

Stand up today for policy changes and innovations in higher education and workforce training that will make it easier for millions to find encore careers.
