from 9.20 am Fresh Starts
Redundancies, lay-offs, and unemployment figures are everyday news affecting old and young alike. For many, the problem now is how to make a second start in another job or even a new career.
What sort of employment is available in different parts of the country? Can a man or woman over 50 hope for a new career? What chance has a redundant junior executive of getting a similar position? What are the prospects of another job after retirement? What sort of re-training schemes are available? And how are employers helping?
In the studio to answer your questions and near about your own experiences will be Margaret Korving, author of two books on second careers, Out of the Rut and Happy Return, and Jim Davidson of the Training Services Agency.
In the Chair Sue MacGregor
Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit
