The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) awarded a $1,529,314 Project Grant to the Louisiana Governor's Office of Elderly Affairs under the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) (CFDA 17.235). The grant funds will be used to provide part-time community service employment and job training for low-income unemployed individuals aged 55 and older in Louisiana. Through this program, participants will receive work assignments at non-profit and public agencies, earning at least minimum wage while receiving supportive services, on-the-job training, and individual employment planning to enhance their employability and transition into unsubsidized employment in both the public and private sectors. The grant has a period of performance from June 30, 2024 to June 30, 2025, and the Louisiana Governor's Office of Elderly Affairs may sub-award a portion of the funds to other local agencies and non-profit organizations to deliver these workforce development services for older adults.
