Abstract
The purpose of this project is to address and solve the problem of middle aged male participants in the 45-65 age groups who are participants of the Job Seeking Skills (JSS) workshops. They do not achieve a successful outcome and gain competitive employment in comparison to their female counterparts who do find employment. The author reviewed the related literature which consisted of laws and regulations, statistical data and journal articles. The new curriculum for use in the WorkAbility III Program will support middle aged male Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) consumers/students participating in Job Seeking Skills Workshops at campuses within the Los Rios Community College District.
