DEA sponsors employment and training programs
for income-eligible persons 55 and older.
The Senior Job Service serves all persons
55 and over (regardless of income) seeking parttime
or full-time jobs. Job counselors can assist in
job matching, referrals, and assistance with job
searches.
The Senior Community Service Employment
Program (SCSEP) provides employment
and training opportunities through placement
at non-profit agencies statewide. Participants earn
minimum wage, work 20 hours weekly and develop
skills on the job for future employment. The goal
for each individual is to obtain permanent parttime
or full-time employment.
