This Project Grant award in the amount of $1,167,112 was provided by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the Senior Community Service Employment Program (CFDA 17.235). The primary purpose is to move SCSEP participants into unsubsidized employment in both the public and private sectors, promote part-time community service work experiences for unemployed low-income individuals aged 55 and older, and foster self-sufficiency among this population. Key activities include providing community service employment at minimum wage, support services, on-the-job training, individual employment plans, and classroom/skills training to prepare participants for unsubsidized jobs. The awardee, National Asian Pacific Center on Aging, can sub-grant funds to local agencies and non-profits to expand the reach of these workforce development services targeted at Asian American and Pacific Islander seniors. The award period runs from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2028.
