assigned to useful
part-time community
service positions
with public and
private non-profit
agencies such as
social service
agencies, public

wage. For

Some AAAs provide job brokerage services by assisting individuals age eligible, but not necessarily income eligible, for SCSEP. Individuals are matched with appropriate full or part-time jobs through the AAA's employment brokerage system. AAAs that do not provide brokerage services directly refer older job seekers to the local CareerLink Center.
You must be age 55 or older to receive these employment services.
Contact
your
local AAA for
more
information.
