  • Careers in Aging Month

GSA hosts Careers in Aging Month every year to raise awareness about the diverse careers available in the field of aging.

People are living longer and populations are aging worldwide. The demand for professionals with expertise in aging is growing rapidly. Careers in Aging Month (CIAM) is observed every year by businesses, clinics, coalitions, organizations, universities, colleges, and other parties across the world. 

The goal of CIAM is to bring greater awareness and visibility to the wide-ranging career opportunities in the field of aging.
