SCSEP is the only federally-funded employment program specifically targeted to older Americans. It provides paid, part-time community service training positions for low-income individuals age 55+. Participants earn at least minimum wage while gaining skills and experience, with the goal of transitioning to unsubsidized employment. Thousands of older adults participate each year through local non-profit and government agencies.
