Olmsted County, MN - The Experience Works Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is accepting applications. Program applicants must be age 55 or older, unemployed, live in Olmsted County, and have incomes of $14,363 per year or less for a family of one ($19,388 for family of two). There are currently several openings for qualified candidates.

“In this difficult economy, many older Minnesotans are finding it necessary to find work,” says Teri Stepaniak, Minnesota state director for Experience Works, a national, charitable, community-based organization serving 54 counties in Minnesota. “Unfortunately, finding a job can be especially difficult for older workers who have not looked for employment for some time or for those who been unsuccessful in their job hunt. Our program is a stepping stone for people desperate for work. We can provide immediate assistance and wages, for those who qualify for the SCSEP.”

Experience Works SCSEP is available at no cost to people who meet eligibility criteria. The program provides paid community service assignments at local public and non-profit organizations, training, referral to needed services, and job search assistance. With updated skills, participants use their community service training as a springboard to permanent jobs with local employers.

For more information call Nancy Hoffman at Experience Works, 507-289-2652 or 612-718-1765 or visit www.experienceworks.org.
