Employment – Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)

1 min read

This program provides training and work experience to help older adults get permanent employment. You can get help in two ways:

  • Training assignments: You can learn new skills and get on-the-job training by doing community service work with public and nonprofit organizations. The types of training assignments you can get include day care centers, senior centers, governmental agencies, schools, hospitals, and libraries. You will usually work about 20 hours a week and you will be paid for your services.
  • Employment assistance: You will get help with creating a job placement and training plan (called the Individual Employment Plan) and other services. You can also get training related to your community service assignments through one-on-one instructions or by attending talks, seminars, and other training programs.
