Description
The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) provides workers ages 55 & over who meet income guidelines, with an opportunity to gain key work skills by working in a real-world, real-time work environment. SCSEP participants gain critical skills that ultimately lead to locating and maintaining unsubsidized employment.

Why do participants enroll in SCSEP? Some have retired and want to stay active. Others have been laid off from long-term jobs. Still others want to reenter the workforce after raising a family or a change in their financial situation. Regardless of their specific reason, SCSEP participants are eager to work for the employers of today and tomorrow.

If you are interested in participating in the Senior Community Service Employment Program, visit a Workforce Center and mention that you are interested in SCSEP.

For further information, contact the SCSEP team at (316) 771-6750.
