About SCSEP

This website is designed for persons involved with, or interested in, the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), a part-time employment training program for low-income persons age 55 or over. Program participants are placed at community and government agencies for training and are paid the Federal or State minimum wage, whichever is higher. They may also receive specialized training and can use their participation as a bridge to other employment positions which are not supported with Federal funds. Persons who are seeking employment may also find this site useful. Everyone is welcome!

Administered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment & Training Administration, SCSEP is authorized under Title V of the Older Americans Act of 1965. The law was recently amended by the Older Americans Amendments of 2000.
