Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)
From Senior Planet Resource Exchange
The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a community service and work based training program for older workers. It was authorized by Congress in Title V of the Older Americans Act of 1965 to provide subsidized, part-time, community service work based training for low-income persons age 55 or older who have poor employment prospects.
SCSEP believes that older workers provide a valuable resource to the needs of a 21st century workforce and is committed to providing high quality job training and employment assistance to its participants. They are also committed to assisting employers that are facing the challenges of today’s workplace by developing a viable workforce that is trained and ready to work.
Participants provide community services and part-time work based training, work an average of 20 hours a week, and earn minimum wage. They are placed in a wide variety of community service activities at non-profit and public facilities, including day-care centers, senior centers, schools and hospitals.
