Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)

Assistance for Seniors Returning to Work

The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a community service and work-based job training program designed to help older Americans reenter the workforce. The program serves unemployed, low-income Floridians aged 55 and older whose income does not exceed 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Participants are placed in part-time community service assignments at nonprofit and public agencies to gain work experience and develop new skills.

SCSEP is funded through the United States Department of Labor, The State of Florida (Department of Elder Affairs) and local contributors annually. 

This project is 90% supported by the U.S. Department of Labor with federal funds. The remaining 10% is financed by non-federal sources.
