Career Field Overview
For those who are (or want to be) in a position with responsibility for hiring, firing, promoting, and managing personnel and resources, gerontology education is a must! For the first time in history, four (and sometimes five) generations are working together within an organization. Having someone with gerontology expertise at the helm who understands the benefits of the multi-generational workforce, will help to ensure appropriate communication, avoid age-discrimination in hiring and promotion, and foster organizational success.
