WHAT IS SCSEP?

• • The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a U.S. Department of Labor funded employment and training program.
  • NAPCA SCSEP concentrates on serving limited- and non-English speaking Asian and Pacific Islander seniors.
  • 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 improving participants’ job skills to enable them to find full or part-time unsubsidized employment.

CCC operates SCSEP to provide talented, hardworking people to our host agencies. Together, we can offer opportunities that improve the job readiness of mature workers while expanding their service to the community.
