Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services State Plan 2024-2027
The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) State Plan for Missouri outlines strategies to assist unemployed, low-income individuals aged 55 and older. It focuses on enhancing employability through community service, skill development, and job placement. Key initiatives include fostering coordination among SCSEP grantees and sub-recipients, collaborating with WIOA Title I programs and other entities, engaging employers to create unsubsidized employment opportunities, and ensuring equitable service distribution across the state, with a focus on minority and underserved populations. The plan aims for continuous improvement in participants' entry into unsubsidized employment and emphasizes addressing the unique needs of older job seekers.
