The spark that kept you going is waning and yet you may not be financially or emotionally ready for retirement. What are your options? In what has been called one of the most significant social trends of the new century and the biggest transformation of the American workforce, encore careers are an opportunity to fulfill dreams, give back or even be a catalyst for change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo an increasing number of people, the idea of retiring at 65 is a nonstarter,\u201d says Mark Feffer in <i>Forbes<\/i>. \u201cMore and more boomers are looking at life after 50 as a time to explore new opportunities \u2014 to embark on second careers that are as much about doing good as they are about making a living.\u201d In fact, according to a survey by Encore.org, more than 4.5 million people between the ages of 50 and 70 are already working along such a path \u2014 and another 21 million plan to join them.<\/p>\n<p>Encore.org was founded by social entrepreneur Marc Freedman with the intention of redefining how people view retirement and tapping the expertise of people in midlife and beyond. \u201cFaced with the practical necessity of extended working lives, (baby) boomers have made it a virtue, getting busy on their next chapters, second acts or Careers 2.0,\u201d he says. \u201cThe goal is to be able to stop climbing the ladder and start making a difference, to trade money for meaning, to have the latitude to work on things that matter most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Community colleges are often an integral part of making this transition. \u201cSuffolk is a valuable resource for new retirees because we offer so many opportunities to explore a second career or the next phase in life,\u201d says Dr. Suzanne Johnson, Vice President for Academic Affairs at Suffolk County Community College. \u201cFrom continuing education classes to certificates, to full degree programs, Suffolk can virtually cater to any interest without incurring significant debt.\u00a0 Our student body is diverse so retirees will feel comfortable because many students are non-traditional and adult learners.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Test-driving Interests With Continuing Education<\/h3>\n<p>While some individuals know exactly what they would like to pursue, others find it helpful to learn about the opportunities that are available to them. Suffolk\u2019s Office for Continuing Education offers an extensive menu of non-credit continuing education and professional development courses for almost anything you can think of. Some of these courses even include specific industry certifications, like solar photovoltaic installation, dietary management and more. \u201cOften, people will take a class or two before moving into the credit-bearing arena,\u201d says Nina Leonhardt, Associate Dean for Continuing Education at Suffolk. \u201cIt allows people to test-drive programs to see what fits them best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Enriched Learning With Certificate and Degree Programs<\/h3>\n<p>If continuing education courses allow a person to dabble, then Suffolk\u2019s certificate and degree programs provide in-depth learning. It generally takes a year to earn a certificate, while an associate degree takes two years. Certificate programs emphasize the skills required for direct entry into the job market and allow students to quickly enhance current skills or develop new ones. Suffolk offers more than a dozen certificate programs aligned with a wide variety of interests, including accounting, business management, culinary arts, hotel and resort management, information technology, drafting and more.<\/p>\n<p>Suffolk also offers a variety of two-year programs leading to an associate degree. See page 4 for a full list of the accredited programs of study offered at the College. Students can enroll on a full-time or part-time basis.<\/p>\n<h3>Pursuing Your Passion<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is people are living longer, healthier lives, and when they get to the point where they need to make a change \u2014 they retire, are laid off or sell their business \u2014 they are 60 years old, and they say \u2018I still have another 10, 15 or 20 years and I want to do something,\u2019\u201d says Nancy Collamer, author of <i>Second Act Careers: 50+ Ways to Profit From Your Passions During Semi-Retirement<\/i>. \u201cIt\u2019s out of financial necessity in some cases, but it\u2019s lifestyle in other cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sunysuffolk.mycareerfocus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Encore_Pete_Pic_2_Pgs6_7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1200 size-full alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/sunysuffolk.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2016-volume-8-issue-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/Encore_Pete_Pic_2_Pgs6_7.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sunysuffolk.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2016-volume-8-issue-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/Encore_Pete_Pic_2_Pgs6_7.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sunysuffolk.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2016-volume-8-issue-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/Encore_Pete_Pic_2_Pgs6_7-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Peter Rettaliata, 65, of Brightwaters, is beginning a new career as a Substance Abuse Counselor at the YMCA of Long Island \u00ad\u2013 Family Services. After working at Grumman for 22 years, he spent the next two decades as the President\/CEO of Air Industries Group, a defense-related company in Bay Shore. Two years ago, in anticipation of retiring, he enrolled in the Chemical Dependency Counseling Program at Suffolk County Community College. \u201cI wasn\u2019t planning to stop working and just sit at home,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019ve been an executive and served on boards but I wanted to work with people in a way that was different and more personally rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By offering evening classes, Suffolk\u2019s program fit into Mr. Rettaliata\u2019s hectic work schedule. \u201cSuffolk was nearby and made it work for me,\u201d he says. \u201cThe program allowed me to get certified, which makes a difference.\u201d Now, as a certified counselor, he underscores the importance for individuals to find out what they need in order to work in a specific field. \u201cIt\u2019s not enough to be well intentioned \u2026 you need to find out what you need from an education or certification perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Rettaliata also believes baby boomers and retirees have qualities that enhance their ability to succeed in the workforce. \u201cI\u2019m able to offer compassion, insight, patience and maturity. These are all things that you gain as a seasoned individual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After more than 20 years in the mental health services field, Holly Beck, of Smithtown, also decided it was time to do something new. This past December, she became the first female graduate of Suffolk County Community College\u2019s Welding Program. \u201cMy dad was a welder and I\u2019ve always been interested in building things,\u201d says Ms. Beck. \u201cI\u2019m in my fifties and I realized that I wanted to focus my energy in a new direction. Welding feeds my creative side and allows me to be part of the fabrication process. Once I finish the transition from my current job, I can see myself working in ornamental design.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sunysuffolk.mycareerfocus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Holly_Beck_EncoreCareers_pg6_7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1203 size-full alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/sunysuffolk.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2016-volume-8-issue-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/Holly_Beck_EncoreCareers_pg6_7.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sunysuffolk.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2016-volume-8-issue-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/Holly_Beck_EncoreCareers_pg6_7.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sunysuffolk.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2016-volume-8-issue-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/Holly_Beck_EncoreCareers_pg6_7-233x300.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Suffolk\u2019s semester-long Welding Program has been running for the past six years and has trained close to 150 welding students who are now working in a wide range of regional industries, including manufacturing, automotive, construction, marine repair and more. \u201cSuffolk worked perfectly for my schedule,\u201d says Ms. Beck. \u201cClasses were in the evening and on Saturdays, so I could keep my day job while pursuing my new career goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a September 2015 report by AARP, older workers play a critical role in our national economy because \u201c\u2026 the flood of experienced people with a strong work ethic into the workforce has increased productivity and enhanced economic output. In short, older workers make the U.S. a richer nation. In some fields, such as nursing, recruiting and retaining workers who are 50 or older are essential to addressing the dearth of skilled workers.\u201d Indeed, 25 years ago, only about one worker out of every 10 planned to stay in the workforce after the age of 65; now that number has jumped to four in 10.<\/p>\n<h3>Utilizing Suffolk\u2019s Career Services Offices<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to a wide range of programs, baby boomers will find another important reason to explore new careers at Suffolk: the Career Services offices on each campus. Suffolk\u2019s Career Services offices provide experienced career professionals to help students identify their core strengths, clarify career goals and identify academic majors to help them reach their educational and career objectives.\u00a0 \u201cDiscovering a new career is a dynamic process,\u201d says Sylvia Camacho, Suffolk\u2019s College-wide Director of Career Services. \u201cThat\u2019s why it makes so much sense to take advantage of the many valuable opportunities available through our office \u2014 from internships to job leads and everything in between.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For all the ways that Suffolk can help baby boomers transition to a new career or pursue a personal interest, simply call 631-451-4111 or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/sunysuffolk.edu\/Enroll\">sunysuffolk.edu\/Enroll<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; Drew Fawcett<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find new fulfillment in\u00a0midlife and beyond.
