Civic Ventures released a report last year highlighting the innovative work certain states are doing around the U.S. to tap into the growing number of Baby Boomers interested in second careers. Civic Ventures focuses on enabling careers in fields that make a positive contribution to society, such as teaching and health care. The report looks at efforts in Arizona, California, Maryland, Massachusetts and New York to help older workers find meaningful work and to volunteer their time. I had a chance to talk about Civic Ventures’ work in this area recently with Stefanie Weiss, the organization’s vice president for communications. Here’s an edited video of our conversation.
