Are you an elder looking for work? The National Indian Council on Aging (NICOA) is seeking participants in its recently funded Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP). Participants are selected based on their needs and must be at least 55 years old; there is no upper age limit! Veterans and persons over the age of 65 are especially encouraged to apply.
The NICOA SCSEP offers paid training through meaningful community service and skills development as well as job search assistance. Applicants selected will be assigned to local agencies and paid 20-30 training hours per week. To see if you qualify, call toll-free 888-642-6297 for a referral or contact the West Region NICOA office in Tempe, AZ at 480-921-3406 or email dbegay@nicoa.org. Also, local public or private nonprofit agencies interested in hosting an elder trainee are encouraged to contact the program.
NICOA’s Elder Employment Project (SCSEP) is provided from American Indian Set-aside funds in the Older Americans Act through a grant from the US Department of Labor. NICOA is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
