What is SCSEP?

Being employed boosts self-confidence and helps keep people active – physically and mentally. The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a federally funded employment training program for limited-income seniors, aged 55 or older, who wish to re-enter the
workforce.
 
The SCSEP program helps limited-income seniors refresh their job skills through a paid training assignment at a local non-profit or government agency. The goal of the SCSEP program is gainful employment for mature
workers.

How does the SCSEP work?

Once accepted into the program, participants will:
  • Have a training assignment with a non-profit or government agency
  • Receive paid job-training for an average of 20 hours per week
  • Refresh existing job skills and learn new ones
  • Have access to a personal job coach (Participant Specialist)
If you or a loved one are ready to get back to work, but need help securing a job, let us know. We’d love to link you to the right job for you and help you live a better life.
