SCSEP OVERVIEWWHAT IS SCSEP?The Senior Community Service Employment Program, or SCSEP (the “program”) is afederally-funded employment training program under the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)and the Employment and Training Administration (ETA). The program is governed by Title Vof the Older Americans Act and was designed to support President Lyndon Johnson’s“War on Poverty” campaign in the 1960s. The program has been continuously funded sinceits inception and is a direct response to economic changes and loss of employment.National Able Network, Inc. administers the SCSEP program on behalf of the DOL. It isthe intent of Able to follow the spirit of local, state, and federal laws governing the EqualEmployment Opportunity, including the SCSEP Final Rule, and comply with WorkforceInnovation Opportunity Act requirements.Able works collaboratively with community-based non-profit and government organizations,known as “host agencies” to provide SCSEP participants with training opportunities whichupdate their skills and get them employment ready. We adhere to Equal EmploymentOpportunity principles, including recruitment and hiring, compensation, benefits, training,promotion, discipline, and all other terms and conditions of employment.The SCSEP is designed to be used in conjunction with other programs and services.These programs are provided by public, private and not-for-profit agencies to create holisticservices that maximize the goals and skills of SCSEP participants to achieve employmentand economic self-sufficiency. Able has curated a network of trusted partners so that SCSEPparticipants like you can easily access trusted resources that help you achieve youremployment goals.TODAYNavigating today’s job market can be challenging for job seekers of all ages, but especiallyfor mature workers. Many mature adults are not financially ready for retirement and mustseek work in a market where their job skills are rapidly being outpaced by technologicaladvances. Additionally, many older workers, especially women, find themselves seekingemployment for the first time or re-entering the workforce after many years of notparticipating in the job market. In a rapidly changing environment, a skill gap is often createdbetween mature workers and available job openings, and they must continuously updatetheir skills if they wish to compete.The SCSEP addresses existing and emerging trends by helping participants build the skillsand qualifications needed to compete for jobs. Experience and current research reflectthat mature adults can modernize and improve their skill levels in a wide range of activities.SCSEP participants create a job search plan that integrates hands-on work training withtraditional learning and other support services. The ultimate outcome is that participants willdevelop skills and qualifications resulting in greater employability and increased chances ofgaining unsubsidized employment and obtaining economic self-sufficiency.SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM — NAPCA HANDBOOK2
