SIR, The Enterprise and Business Committee is a cross-party committee of National Assembly for Wales Members which holds the Welsh Government to account. We are currently undertaking an inquiry into employment opportunities for older people and are very interested to hear the experiences of readers who are over the age of 50. We would like to know what issues you have faced if you are out of work and trying to find employment – and what you would like done about it. We are particularly interested in whether confidence is an issue. For all readers aged over 50 we would like to hear your views on whether you feel you have the necessary skills and qualifications, either to enter the labour market or to keep up-to-date in your current employment. We would also welcome your views on the benefits and opportunities from volunteering. Readers are welcome to send us comments in English or Welsh. We shall use this information to publish a report and recommendations for the Welsh Government to take action, and Welsh Ministers will have six weeks to respond to our report. Please contact us by emailing [email protected]">[email protected]s or by writing to the Clerk, Enterprise and Business Committee, National Assembly for Wales, Cardiff CF99 1NA. William Graham AM (Chair, Enterprise and Business Committee)
