Senior Community Service and Employment
If you have an interest in rejoining the workforce, we can
provide you with paid, on-the-job training in an area that
interests you, while learning new skills. Also known as Title
V, the Senior Community Service and Employment Program is a
work-training program for low-income people age 55 and older.
Our Career Counselors will assess your skills and past work
history, then help you find a job. In the past, we’ve placed
seniors in such positions as office assistant, companion, data
entry, bookkeeping, driver, security, food services and sales.
You must work a minimum of 20 hours each week in subsidized
employment.
We can also help you with resume writing, interviewing
techniques, job search and pre-arranged interviews. Although
there are certain financial qualifications, each individual’s
situation is considered different.
No fee: This is a free service.
