Description:The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) helps job seekers improved their skills, obtain training and find a job. The goal of the program is for participants to gain the skills they need to find and sustain employment in the workforce. SCSEP is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor and provides comprehensive training and support that helps individuals to:
◦Obtain new job knowledge;
◦Enhance their skills;
◦Gain a competitive edge in today's job market; and
◦Feel confident in their newfound abilities.
How can SCSEP help find work?
SCSEP participants are placed in temporary assignments with federal, state, county, city, or nonprofit community organizations where they have an opportunity to sharpen and develop skills while searching for a permanent job. While working in these temporary training assignments participants are paid the prevailing Federal or State minimum wage whichever is higher. At the same time that you are improving your job skills, SCSEP offers workshops and advice to prepare you to apply for a job.
While on the program, participants are in a temporary training status and are not employees of the host agency. The goal of SCSEP is for you to find employment off the program as soon as you are ready.
