3.15 We will give extra help to older workers
who find it harder to learn new skills and find
jobs, through the ADVANTAGE! scheme. This was
a recommendation of the Tripartite Committee,
but it complements the proposals of the Low Wage
Workers Committee. The ADVANTAGE! scheme will
help employers adopt practices which will maximise
the strengths of older workers. These include
adopting employment practices that do not discriminate
by age, moving away from seniority-based wage
structures, and re-employing retiring workers.
WDA will set aside $30 million over two years
for this scheme.
