The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a job training program for older Americans operated under a U.S. Department of Labor grant. We thank CWI Works, Inc. for selecting our organization to operate SCSEP in our community.
The Catholic Charities Worcester County SCSEP program is funded by an almost $47 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. This funding provides 90% of the support for SCSEP with CWI and its subgrantees providing approximately $5 million in non-federal match.
The SCSEP Program is an equal opportunity program. Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities.
