WASHINGTON<\/strong> \u2013 The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the award of $18.4 million in demonstration grants to nine current national grantees operating a Senior Community Service Employment Program grant so the department can measure the effectiveness of industry or sector-based training as a bridge to unsubsidized employment for low-income, older workers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The demonstration grants will allow recipients to build and expand partnerships with employers, training providers and the public workforce system to inform and support their projects. Grantees will augment their current service model with a combination of enhanced career navigation services, occupational and on-the-job training.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The department\u2019s\u00a0Employment and Training Administration<\/a> awarded SCSEP Demonstration Grants to grantees announced on\u00a0Sept. 20, 2024<\/a>. ETA will study the effect of industry-based or sector-based training on employment outcomes for older workers and use the data to develop strategies for programs that train and employ older workers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Senior Community Service Employment Program is a community service and work-based training program for older workers. Authorized by the Older Americans Act, SCSEP provides training for low-income, unemployed seniors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
