Current Narrative:
Long–term strategy for engaging employers
Alaska remains focused on SCSEP service delivery that is integrated into the state’s workforce investment system and the senior service system. Skilled AJC and project operator staff provide quality services to older workers, and employers have reported high satisfaction levels with SCSEP participants who have entered unsubsidized employment with them. Employers have reported that they have great work habits, problem solving skills, the ability to work with others, and adaptability to change with business needs. Alaska’s long–term strategy, therefore, is to stay the course and continue to reach out to workforce development partners, the business community, and senior service partners to ensure successful outcomes for older workers and Alaskan businesses alike.
