The Older Americans Act (OAA) Title V Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is designed to provide and promote useful part-time employment training opportunities for older workers. Program participants are placed in a subsidized community service assignment for an on-the-job training experience. The SCSEP provides assistance in transitioning participants to private or other unsubsidized job placements. It also provides supportive services, such as personal and job-related counseling, case management, job referrals, other job-related training, and social services referrals.

The SCSEP is authorized by Title V of the Older American’s Act and funded by the Department of Labor. The County of Los Angeles receives a $1,476,209 subgrant from the California Department of Aging. This funding plus a 10% match from the County of Los Angeles funds 100% of the support for the SCSEP.  The program is administered locally by UAW Labor Employment and Training Corporation for the County of Los Angeles, Aging and Disabilities Department.

Effective July 1, 2025, this program is on hiatus until further notice. As soon as more information is available it will be provided.
