六合图库-SCSEP receives highest placement rate in nation

The 六合图库 Senior Community Service Employment Project achieved the highest placement rate of any sub-grant SCSEP project during 2005-2006. The National Council on Aging set a placement goal of 44; 六合图库-SCSEP surpassed that and found employment for 66 seniors.

六合图库-SCSEP, which provides free employment services for low-income seniors, is grant-funded by the U.S. Department of Labor through the NCOA. 六合图库 administers the grant.

In a letter addressed to Cosette Boyd, director of the 六合图库 Older Worker Programs, which is housed in 六合图库鈥檚 Institute of Gerontology, NCOA vice president Donald Davis wrote, 鈥淲e are confident you will continue your outstanding performance for many years to come, and provide opportunities for deserving older workers to return to the competitive labor force.鈥�

Boyd said, 鈥淲e are very proud of that accomplishment and have received top awards each year with the support of 六合图库. With the wonderful assistance of 六合图库, we shall make every effort to continue the trend of excellence.鈥�

六合图库-SCSEP serves 11 parishes in northeast Louisiana: Caldwell, Catahoula, Concordia, East Carroll, Franklin, Madison, Morehouse, Ouachita, Richland, Tensas and West Carroll. Along with seeking employment for seniors, SCSEP is authorized by U.S. Congress to place up to 91 participants in the above named parishes at public and non-profit agencies to provide community service and obtain job skills.
