LeadingAge Marks National Workforce Development Month

As America ages, the demand for staff across all roles in aging services continues to grow. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 20% of the population was age 65 or older in 2024, compared with just 12.4% two decades earlier.

Throughout September, LeadingAge will observe National Workforce Development Month by sharing resources, strategies, and innovative practices designed to support providers in building and sustaining a strong workforce. Content will feature expertise from the LeadingAge Knowledge Center, initiatives from State Partners, and successful member-led programs.

Members are encouraged to follow LeadingAge on LinkedIn, Facebook, X, and Instagram to access tools and ideas all month long—and to share their own workforce development initiatives using the social media toolkit. Visit the National Workforce Development Month campaign page for updates and resources throughout September.

LeadingAge Ohio is also proud to offer workforce tools year-round. Explore Gateways to Care, our statewide hub connecting job seekers with careers in aging services, and visit the LeadingAge Ohio Careers page to discover open opportunities across the field.
