Detroit Jewish Vocational Service
Gets Grant to Find Jobs for Retirees
Robert Kasle, president of the
Jewish Vocational Service, an-
nounces that the agency has re-
cently been awarded a . special
grant to conduct a project which
has the purpose of finding part-
time jobs for retirees.
This grant has been made by
the Baron de Hirsch Fund, a
New Jersey philanthropy, to De-
troit as one of four Jewish Vo-
cational Service agencies in the
United States and Canada in-
terested in increasing employ-
ment opportunities for retired
persons.
The Detroit JVS is concerned
that there are a diminishing
number of jobs available for re-
tirees who have serious eco-
nomic and psychological needs
to work. Most of these persons
wish to supplement their So-
cial Security or retirement bene-
fits.
This grant will be utilized as
an eight-month experimental
project. An advisory committee
of retired persons will work
with the agency in an effort to
provide an increased number of
part-time jobs, and will serve
as the labor pool.
Philip J. Gilbert will serve as
the field representative for this
project. He will be concerned
with contacting businesses and
firms in the Detroit area who
could employ active and experi-
enced retired persons.
The Jewish Vocational Service
believes that there are many
