The mission of the Employment and Training Administration is to contribute to the more efficient functioning of the U.S. labor market by providing high-quality job training, employment, labor market information, and income maintenance services primarily through state and local workforce development systems.
The grant program announced by the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) of the U.S. Department of Labor focuses on allocating approximately $19,000,000 in funds authorized by the Older Americans Act for the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP). This initiative aims to support sector-based training for older workers, facilitating their employment in sectors where their skills and experiences can be effectively utilized and valued.
