Helping Adults over 55 Transition back into the Workforce
MCCOG’S Title V Program gives income eligible adults over the age of 55 the opportunity to work for 48 months in a variety of community service activities through non-profit and public facilities. These may include senior centers, schools, hospitals and social service agencies. Participants are paid with federal funds at the highest federal, state or local minimum wage level. The goal is for these experiences to lead workers to unsubsidized employment at the end of 48 months.
Services Include: Individual Employment Plan (IEP) development, orientation, community service placement, training specific to community service assignment, other training as identified in the IEP, supportive services, wages, fringe benefits, annual physicals, assistance in securing unsubsidized employment, and access to local One-Stop Career Centers.
*Enrollment in the Title V Program requires eligibility determination. Participants must be physically and mentally capable of working for a maximum of 20 hours per week. For more information please attend one of our regularly scheduled Title V Orientation sessions.
