Workforce
55+ is New Jersey's Senior Community Service Employment
Program project, which trains and places older individuals
in community service positions and unsubsidized employment.
Workforce
55+ helps low-income New Jersey seniors aged 55 and
older achieve economic self-sufficiency through employment.
Job-ready seniors are provided employment opportunities;
other seniors are referred to classroom or work-based
training at nonprofit organizations and public agencies
in their communities, prior to transitioning into
the workforce.

55+ participants also receive counseling, supportive
services, and a mutually developed individual employability
plan, which serves as a roadmap to employment. Participants
receive a minimal stipend while they train to obtain
gainful, non-subsidized employment.
