SCSEP Program Overview
SCSEP is the largest federally-funded program specifically targeting older adults seeking employment and training assistance.
The goal of SCSEP is to help participants gain work experience and overcome barriers by receiving on-the-job training at not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) community based organizations or government agencies. The dual purpose of the SCSEP program is to provide community service while also improving participant’s job skills to enable them to find full or part-time unsubsidized employment.
Nationally, NAPCA serves over 1,200 older workers through the SCSEP program annually. In 2016, NAPCA SCSEP participants contributed over 600,000 hours to our community through their community services.
This project received $13,967,915 (90.91% of its total cost) from grants awarded under the SCSEP grant, as implemented by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration. $1,396,791.50 (9.09%) of the project is financed by non-federal funding sources.
