Senior Employment Community Services Program (SCSEP)
The Senior Employment Community Services Program (SCSEP) is a federally-funded program serving low-income seniors in 17 New Mexico counties by providing them with on-the-job experience and training. Goodwill places persons aged 55 and older in subsidized jobs for up to six months with the goal of having the employer pick up the salary costs at the end of that period.
Through SCSEP, participants can leverage the service they provide their communities to upgrade their skills and pursue new job opportunities. They also have access to a wide array of services to help qualify them for positions in today's job market, such as computer training. The only federal workforce program targeted to low-income older workers, SCSEP is administered by Goodwill through a grant agreement with the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration.
