Senior Community Services Employment Program
The Senior Community Services
Employment Program (SCSEP) provides
part-time employment opportunities
in community service activities for
unemployed, low-income individuals
ages 55 and older. The program
promotes economic self-sufficiency
and increases the number of older
people who enjoy the benefits of
unsubsidized employment in the
public and private sectors.
The SCSEP is authorized under Title
V of the Older Americas Act and is
funded by the U.S. Department of
Labor.
The Cumberland County SCSEP
currently serves seniors in
Cumberland, Robeson, Moore, Lee,
Richmond and Bladen County.
Participants are placed in community
service assignments to allow them to
develop their skills, receive paid
training and build their confidence
to secure unsubsidized positions.
They meet the needs of local
non-profit and public organizations
and contribute to the general
welfare of their community.
