EMPLOYMENT FOR SENIORS
Senior Employment Program
The Senior Employment Program helps older adults find
employment by building skills and confidence through paid
community service positions. Senior Trainees serve their
communities through paid temporary assignments with local
non-profit and government organizations.
Seniors gain valuable job skills by working at schools, libraries,
social service agencies, hospitals, senior centers, and many other
locations.
The Senior Employment Program helps seniors build the
experience and confidence they need to find permanent
employment while they receive paid training, work experience
and extra income.
You may qualify if you are 55 or older, have a low income, are
seeking employment, and are a resident of Barbour, Coffee,
Covington, Dale, Geneva, Henry or Houston County.
Veterans and their spouses are encouraged to apply.
