Ageism in Job Training Opportunities

Ageism in job training opportunities refers to discrimination based on a person's age, often leading to older or younger individuals facing barriers to accessing training programs. This bias can manifest as assumptions about an individual's ability to learn new skills or adapt to new technologies. Older workers might be overlooked for training due to beliefs they may be less capable, while younger workers may be seen as inexperienced and not taken seriously. Such age-related stereotypes limit opportunities for growth and development, affecting career progression and perpetuating age-related inequality in the workplace.
