About this opportunity
The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development is soliciting applications to operate the Wisconsin Senior Employment (WISE) Program, the state's implementation of the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) under Title V of the Older Americans Act, with applications due August 2, 2026. DWD intends to award a single statewide contract but reserves the right to make multiple awards to ensure adequate geographic coverage and service delivery capacity.
SCSEP provides part-time, paid community service employment and training for unemployed, low-income individuals aged 55 and older who face barriers to employment. The program focuses on meaningful community service assignments, job-skills development, and transition support to unsubsidized employment to build economic self-sufficiency. Eligible applicants are organizations qualified to administer the program statewide. The program is federally authorized under the Older Americans Act and administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, with DWD as the state grantee.
