For nearly 60 years, the Center for Workforce Inclusion has seen first-hand, the

power of work to transform not only individuals and their families, but whole

communities. With the help of local partners, support and training is provided to help older, low-income job seekers across the US overcome multiple barriers to employment, secure a meaningful job, and remain employed. Focus is on older, low-income job seekers who have been underserved by traditional workforce development programs including formerly incarcerated individuals, Veterans, and women. These are some of the same workers who have been hit the hardest by COVID-19. 

 

Since their founding in 1962, the Center for Workforce Inclusion has become the only national entity dedicated exclusively to workforce development for low-income job seekers age 55+. Older workers bring experience, emotional intelligence, and generational diversity to the workplace. They are reliable, loyal, and mature. Yet, only 5% of workforce development grants go to workforce development for the 50+ community. 

​

The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a community service and work-based job training program for older Americans operated under a U.S. Department of Labor grant. We thank the Center for Workforce Inclusion, Inc. for selecting our organization to operate SCSEP in our community.

​

The BRCA SCSEP program is funded by a $47.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. This funding provides 90% of the support for SCSEP with the Center and its subgrantees providing approximately $5.2 million in nonfederal match. The SCSEP Program is an equal opportunity program. Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities.
