THE SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM
SCSEP is a national program, and JCA manages its Montgomery County, Maryland site.
SCSEP provides on-the-job training for low-income, older adults in Montgomery County. Participants receive minimum wage plus certain benefits for the authorized hours they work at nonprofit and public organizations while they ready themselves for unsubsidized, “regular” jobs.
Non-English speaking participants are required to enroll in ESOL classes, which are offered by a variety of organizations throughout the county.
