黄金时代协会是一个拥有6000名会员的老年中心，为健康的老年人提供教育、娱乐、社交、文化和体育活动。1983年，该中心制定了一项培训计划，以使该中心能够在预算有限的时期为不断增长的老年人口提供新的服务和计划。保持和提高老年人生活质量的重要性至高无上。设计了一项计划，为一年的实践和理论课程招聘和培训实习生/工作人员助理。他们在该中心获得了实践经验，并参加了正在进行的老年学课程。该中心的目标是提供高素质的工人，并培养一批有技能的人与中心和社区其他地方的老年人一起工作。本文重点介绍招聘、培训、工作分配和评估流程。使用非传统的成人教育模式和“可教时刻”以及工作人员-实习生-志愿者关系来探索这类计划的可行性。这项计划是一个例子，说明可以做些什么来提供服务，同时培训未来的老年学工作者。
The Golden Age Association, a 6,000-member senior center, provides educational, recreational, social, cultural, and physical activities to well, aged people. In 1983, a training program was developed to enable the center to offer new services and programs to a growing senior population during a time of budgetary restrictions. The importance of maintaining and increasing the quality of life of seniors was paramount. A program was designed to recruit and train intern/staff assistants for a practical and theoretical one-year course. They received hands-on experience in the center and participated in an ongoing gerontology course. The center's goals were to provide high-caliber workers and generate a group of skilled people to work with seniors in the center and elsewhere in the community. This article focuses on recruitment, training, job assignment, and the evaluation process. The plausibility of this type of program is explored using a nontraditional adult education model and the "teachable moment" as well as staff-intern-volunteer relationships. This program is an example of what can be done to provide service and simultaneously train future gerontology workers.
