Programs and Services

Older Worker Programs 
Area 1
| Area II | Area III | Area IV | Area V | Area VI

These programs help low-income, unemployed seniors regain their economic independence and self-sufficiency by building basic skills and providing occupational training, as well as actual work experience, to enable older persons to compete successfully for available jobs.

The  Senior Community Service Employment Program helps low-income adults age 55 and older gain part-time paid work experience and provides opportunities to obtain unsubsidized jobs in private industry or the private sector.

Melinda Adams is the State Coordinator for Older Worker Programs. For more information, call her at (208) 334-3833, email her at madams@aging.idaho.gov, or contact the Older Worker staff nearest you.
