What is SCSEP?
The Senior Community
Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is funded under
Title V of the Older Americans Act as well as state and
local grants. It enables thousands of low-income
individuals, age 55 and older, throughout the United
States to find employment.
SCSEP offices may
use Senior Job Search free of charge indefinitely to post
employment opportunities. We consider it a privilege
to work with local and national SCSEP organizations to
help low income seniors find employment.
