The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a community service and work-based job training program for older Americans. Authorized by the Older Americans Act, the program provides training for low-income, unemployed seniors. Participants also have access to employment assistance through American Job Centers.
These places are a joke, and they don't help you. They assume that you have no skills at all, and want to help you do a resume. I'm a senior, was laid off from a high paying adm asst job, and have never been able to find another one.
All the businesses want young, bilingual college graduates, they're paying $10 per hour, and they get them right out of college.
This service told me that they will pay me minimum wage till I find a job and need to take a test from them so I can be placed in the right job. I have too wait till I'm 55 because I'm only 54 right now.
I have found that many places actually want older people who market themselves as ''retired''. Many are usually part-time jobs, but not always. They want older workers who will show uo on time and have a positive work ethic.
We just hired three people through this program. They came as temps and have been with us about a year before being hired permanently. They have great attitudes and work ethics and we're happy to have them.
If you have administrative or customer service skills this program will definitely place you in a job. I know three seniors who has gotten jobs in the HR dept of certain companies after enrolling in the SCSEP program

I have 40+ years of being an admin asst, and got absolutely nowhere with these places.

Did the Job counselor at this program schedule you for any interviews?
