HOW DOES THE SCSEP PROGRAM WORK?

The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) enrolls qualified older workers in part-time training positions and assigns them to public or 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations in the local community.

The purpose of the SCSEP is to offer a "stepping stone" back into the workforce. It is a transitional program; positions are not intended to be permanent; all assignments are temporary.Participant training wages and other costs are paid by Associates for Training & Development (a4td) through funding from Title V (SCSEP) of the Older Americans Act, administered by the US Department of Labor. There is no cost to an organization for hosting an SCSEP participant.

Associates for Training & Development (a4td) host training sites are expected to provide the participant with meaningful job skills training. They are also expected to encourage and help participants in their job search efforts. Note: Host sites that can commit to hiring a participant upon successful completion of their training will be given priority.
