Lewiston-area workers age 55 or older offered employment program

LEWISTON — Associates for Training and Development will be administering the Senior Community Service Employment Program, which helps those 55 or older get back into the workforce by providing paid occupational skills and workplace experience training.
Designed specifically for income-qualified workers, the purpose of the SCSEP is to provide training and skill-building opportunities to program participants while providing community service to local non-profits and public agencies.

Some examples of training sites include hospitals, libraries, senior centers, schools, town clerks and museums. These agencies provide internship opportunities where program participants learn updated job skills. In addition to on-site training, each participant receives career assessments, technology skills updates, supportive services referrals and career counseling.
