The Senior Community Services Employment Program is a job-training organization that offers training within partnered community service agencies. The combination of skills training and community service leads to employment for low-income individuals age 55 and older.

• In 2006, 70 SCSEP participants obtained training across a variety of host sites.

• The average starting wage for participants who moved into competitive employment was $9.60.

• The Vermont Associates for Training and Development SCSEP Program increased their interagency collaboration with Voc Rehab Vermont. This partnership resulted in improved services for older workers with disabilities who are assisted by both programs.

• Staff development in the form of Social Security Benefits training and job development training enabled staff to better serve SCSEP participants.
