If you're over the age of 55 and meet income eligibility requirements (low to moderate income), you can access training and job placement assistance while you can earn a wage through the federal government's Senior Community Services Employment Program (Title V).  The largest of the Title V programs in New York City is offered by the New York City Department for the Aging Senior Employment Services Unit (SESU).  SESU recruiters are stationed at the Workforce 1 centers to ensure senior access to this program and Workforce 1 services are available to all SES enrollees.

SES has almost three decades experience placing older workers in jobs in data processing, electronic offices, customer service, food service, security services and homecare.   SES prepares trainees for employment through classroom training on computer and customer service skills, job search techniques, interviewing and resume writing.   In addition, most trainees receive on-the-job training through subsidized placement at government agencies and not-for-profits throughout the City.   Trainees meet regularly with career counselors to discuss their goals, concerns and progress.  Job fairs, employer referrals and placement assistance help trainees find permanent employment.

You can visit Senior Employment Services  at 2 Lafayette Street.
