The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) helps low-income adults aged 55 and older get back into the workforce.
Participants get temporary work assignments where they learn new skills and gain work experience. These jobs usually offer 20 hours per week at minimum wage. The program also provides extra training and support to help older adults find long-term employment after completing the program.
To join the program, you must:
- Be unemployed
- Be 55 years or older
- Live in Connecticut
- Have a family income no higher than 125% of the federal poverty level
