Make a difference by building a career in aging

During Careers in Aging Month, DAS is proud to join our state and national partners in bringing greater awareness and visibility to the career opportunities in older adult services. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Georgia has the ninth fastest growing 60 and older population with over 2.3 million residents as of 2025. More than 20% of Georgia’s population will be age 60 or older by 2030, an increase of almost 34% from 2012. As a result, the demand for trained professionals to care for our aging communities is rapidly increasing.  

This month, we will share what inspires those who work in older adult services and highlight job opportunities for those interested in a career in aging. DAS employees serve in a variety of roles with focuses in Adult Protective Services, Guardianship, Senior Hunger, and more.  

With demand at an all-time high, working in the aging field means rewarding work helping Georgia’s seniors maintain their health and independence. Follow our DHS LinkedIn page or visit the DHS jobs website to learn about open opportunities with the Division of Aging Services. There are endless options for those eager to grow in the aging industry.
