About this opportunity
The Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration is seeking national grantees for the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) for Program Year 2025. This workforce development initiative targets low-income, unemployed individuals aged 55 and older, providing job training, community service work experiences, and supportive services to help participants transition into unsubsidized employment. Key contract requirements include maintaining at least 75% of funds for participant wages, adhering to administrative cost limitations, and following specific guidelines for participant recruitment, assessment, and service delivery. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on performance measures such as employment rates and participant earnings. The application deadline is October 30, 2025, with potential applicants required to submit materials through Grants.gov, including an SF-424 application form, budget narrative, project narrative, and programmatic assurances.
The total funding allocation for SCSEP grants in Program Year 2025 is $392,941,125, with $307,072,086 designated specifically for National Grantees. Individual grant awards are anticipated to range from approximately $1.5 million to $7.8 million, with a project period spanning four years (July 1 to June 30). Eligible applicants include national non-profit organizations, with potential recipients including entities like Easter Seals, National Able Network, National Council on Aging, and AARP Foundation. The program will create part-time work opportunities at public and non-profit agencies, offering participants minimum wage compensation while developing job skills and professional experience. Performance will be measured by the program's success in moving participants into unsubsidized employment and improving their economic self-sufficiency.
