The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)

Since the late 1960s, National Council on Aging (NCOA) has sponsored the Senior Community Service Employment Program. Funded by the Federal Government, the program helps older workers find part-time jobs in such places as senior centers, health departments, schools, libraries and agency offices. The workers can also receive valuable training while earning money and enhancing their sense of self-worth.

The program's major emphasis is on helping older workers develop the transferable skills that help them stay competitive in today's fast-changing business world.  The Mid-East Commission's Workforce Development operates the SCSEP, funded through the NCOA, for our counties.  For more information on the program, link to Region Q Workforce Development at www.regionqwdb.org.
