Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)
The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is authorized
under Title V of the federal Older Americans Act, and administered
by the U.S. Department of Labor. In New
Jersey, the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Division
of One Stop Programs and Services
administers the SCSEP statewide program known as WorkForce 55+ (WF55+). The main
objective of the Workforce 55+ SCSEP is to bring together the
talents
of older workers and the unmet needs of communities by:
- providing income and gainful part-time subsidized work activities
for low income older persons;
- demonstrating how low income older workers can help respond
to the delivery of their community's service needs by working
in community service jobs; and
- transitioning job-ready older persons into quality jobs in
private, public and non-profit sectors through training and job
finding assistance.
The focus of Workforce 55+ is training and transitioning program
enrollees into unsubsidized jobs with private sector and/or public
sector employers.
