Meet Marion, a #SCSEP participant currently furloughed due to the ongoing funding pause.

Thanks to SCSEP, Marion was able to begin building the skills necessary to return to the workforce. We urge the DOL to release funding so elders like Marion can continue their job training.

Hear directly from former NAPCA #SCSEP participant Leticia Idio on how the job training program positively impacted her life in America.

NAPCA urges the Department of Labor to resume funding so senior jobseekers can continue their employment training and age with dignity.

We commend the Senate Appropriations Committee for protecting funding for the array of Aging Services that support the health and financial security that empower older Americans to age well. #OAA #SCSEP

Yapei was just starting to feel hope when he was furloughed due to the #SCSEP funding pause. For him and thousands of other low-income elders, being furloughed means no job training and no support.

SCSEP is a resource for seniors to find work and age with dignity. #SCSEPMatters

“My story matters because there are so many others like me—people who just need a chance.”

Tamara is one of more than 20,000 elders furloughed because of the #SCSEP funding pause. Her story illustrates why it’s critical for all SCSEP funding to be restored.

Older job seekers face age discrimination, negative health impacts when they lose their jobs Older adults forced to retire from their job can end up uninsured and even face a shorter lifespan.

Employing workers of all ages can boost creativity & innovation in the workplace!

But age discrimination is still an issue. Programs like #SCSEP can help older adults refresh their skills to re-enter the workforce & improve their morale, as NCOA's Jo Ann Wolfe explains to @nchealthnews.bsky.social.
