Current Narrative:
Older workers and the pre-existing programs authorized under the Older Americans Act (OAA), including Alabama’s SCSEP, are now considered part of Alabama’s comprehensive workforce development system. Alabama’s SCSEP is an integral partner in the Alabama workforce development delivery system. This participation offers an unprecedented opportunity to assess the needs of mature and older workers in a unified and coordinated manner, at a time when those workers represent a dominant portion of the workforce. Older workers are likely to need and seek workforce development services in order to allow them to remain in the workforce at levels sufficient to support their income needs. SCSEP participation in Alabama’s workforce development delivery system affords new opportunities to improve services to older workers overall.
For those who need to remain part of (and even participate in training and retraining activities) the state’s civilian labor force, their ability to use the workforce development system effectively will be critical to improving their skills and remaining in the labor force at levels sufficient to support their income needs. SCSEP plans to continue participation in Alabama’s major labor market and job training initiatives.
