The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a community service and work-based job training program for older Americans. Authorized by the Older Americans Act, the program provides training for low-income, unemployed seniors. Participants also have access to employment assistance through American Job Centers.
SCSEP participants gain work experience in a variety of community service activities at non-profit and public facilities, including schools, hospitals, day-care centers, and senior centers. The program provides over 40 million community service hours to public and non-profit agencies, allowing them to enhance and provide needed services. Participants work an average of 20 hours a week and are paid the highest of federal, state or local minimum wage. This training serves as a bridge to unsubsidized employment opportunities for participants.
Participants must be at least 55, unemployed, and have a family income of no more than 125% of the federal poverty level. Enrollment priority is given to veterans and qualified spouses, then to individuals who are over 65, have a disability, have low literacy skills or limited English proficiency, reside in a rural area, are homeless or at risk of homelessness, have low employment prospects, or have failed to find employment after using services through the American Job Center system.
On July 30, 2018, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) of the Department of Labor published the Senior Community Services Employment Program Performance Accountability Final Rule 2018 in the Federal Register.

I can leave home, without worry, knowing that Senior Helpers can handle any emergency- and they know dementia. Our caregiver entertains Al, takes him for walks, hair cuts, etc. She gives me ideas about his care and helps around the house. When I say "Rebekah is coming", he smiles.
Donna has been incredible. She intuitively understands what our family needs in terms of help. She is kind, listens, and is there to make things easier for us during a transitional period in our lives - something that inherently carries a lot of stress. I am grateful for her help.
We are so impressed by the reliability & can-do attitude of this company. The sense of competency & reliability starts at the top and extends through the caring individuals in the home. Every concern is immediately and satisfactorily addressed. We are so very grateful!

My mom is very pleased with the service she receives. I am pleased as her daughter and caregiver because she is pleased. I can see she is being well cared for and my experience communicating with her caregiver is that she is pleasant, caring, respectful and does a great job. I am also very impressed with the knowledge and recommendations from the visiting nurse to help us better care for mom at home.

Sign Up to receive Senior Year Plus Updates. Messages are sent as needed. Information is applicable to postsecondary and secondary educational administrators, educators, school counselors and advisors and includes guidance and reports related to Senior Year Plus.
Advanced Placement Courses (AP)
AP courses are college-level courses offered by high schools. The courses, curriculum requirements, and optional tests are provided by The College Board. Based on the examination score and the postsecondary institution's policies, students may be eligible for college credit or advanced standing at the college or university they later matriculate.
Concurrent Enrollment
The concurrent enrollment program, also known as district-to-community college sharing, promotes rigorous academic or career and technical pursuits by providing opportunities for high school students to enroll in eligible nonsectarian courses at or through community colleges. Per Senior Year Plus, concurrent enrollment courses are offered through contractual agreements between community colleges and school districts within their service area.
Career Academies
Career academies are programs of study offered to high school students through an agreement or contract between their high school and a community college. They bridge high school and community college CTE programs.
Iowa defines career academies differently than national models, which often involve small learning communities. In Iowa, career academies are programs of study that combine a minimum of two years of secondary education with an associate degree in a career preparatory program. The career academy is a program of study that is non-duplicative, sequential, and ensures that the course of study is skill standards-based, integrates academic and technical instruction, utilizes work based and work site learning where appropriate and available, utilizes an individual career planning process with parent involvement, and prepares an individual for entry and advancement in a high-skill and rewarding career field.
