The Senior Employment Center provides community-based services to train, motivate and empower mature job-seekers while maintaining an active partnership with employers leading to increased opportunities for mature workers.

Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)

Description - The Senior Community Service Employment Program provides paid work experience at non-profit and governmental agencies to low-income individuals age 55 plus. Participating agencies benefit from the supplemental work force provided by the program, while the trainees gain practical experience and training to enhance their marketability for private sector, unsubsidized employment.

Job Training Programs

Description - Our job training programs include our job clubs for older workers. Job clubs consist of a three-week job seeking skills course covering topics such as goal setting, resume development, interviewing, networking, cold calling and targeting unadvertised jobs. Participants also benefit from peer support and collaborative job development. The job club service is followed up with individual employment counseling and case management.

Entrepreneurial Programs

Mature Staffing Systems - Mature Staffing Systems is a staffing service specializing in mature workers. We have operated this service continually since 1989.

Mature Workers' Job Fairs - Currently, we operate job fairs in Cleveland and Akron. The benefits are good publicity, recruitment for our programs, and development of new partnerships with employers.
