Senior Community Service Employment Program

We provide job skills training and instruction services to those seniors, 55 years of age or older, who for different circumstances find themselves entering the work force again after a period of unemployment. This is a paid training experience at 20 hours per week.  Training is provided a variety of community positions including: Social Service non-profits, Schools, Libraries, Daycare and Senior Centers, Government agencies, Healthcare Centers, and Goodwill retail outlets.
