The purpose of this program is to develop methods for aiding older employed workers in preparing for retirement and possible retirement employment. The Drake Project jointly funded by the Administration on the Aging is conducting sessions in-plant through release time arrangement often on cooperation with the recognized bargaining agent. Other sessions are held at the University with participants from the community at large. The goal of the project is to help prepare the worker approaching retirement to begin gradually to replace the normal work role with a satisfactory retirement role. Participants are divided into 5 groups (Industrial, Business, Governmental, Professional and Community at Large). (Author)
