You’re Not Done Yet – Get Paid to Learn and Work Again!
Rejoining the workforce after 55 can be tough — but you don’t have to do it alone.
If you’re over 55 and looking to get back to work, you’re not alone. Many older adults face challenges gaining current job experience — especially after time away from the workforce.
The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is here to help you rebuild skills, earn income, and re-enter the job market with confidence.
WHAT IS SCSEP?
SCSEP is the only federally funded job training program in the U.S. specifically for adults aged 55 and older. It provides paid, part-time training at local nonprofits and public agencies — including schools, hospitals, libraries, and senior centers.
The CWI Works SCSEP program is funded by a $45.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. This funding provides 90% of the support for SCSEP with the center matching 10% or $4.5 million. SCSEP is an equal opportunity program. Auxiliary aides and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities.
WHAT YOU’LL GET:
COMMUNITY IN ACTION: SCSEP’S IMPACT
Learning new skills
Engaging with the community
Working together
I am grateful for SCSEP’s commitment to creating pathways for older adults, like me, to remain active and engaged through workforce training. The experience has left a lasting impression, and I am confident that the skills developed during this time will continue to benefit me in future endeavors.
