This week, our team is participating in specialized SCSEP training to better serve the senior citizens in our communities. The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) exists to help older adults (55+) re-enter the workforce by providing paid, hands-on training at local non-profits and public agencies. By investing in our own development, we are strengthening our ability to connect mature workers with meaningful employment opportunities, ultimately creating a positive and lasting impact on both our participants and the communities they serve.

“No other country has woven so many backgrounds, languages, talents, and skills into a single fabric and made it stronger for the weaving. That is why the rest of the world studies the United States and tries to copy it. Hispanic Americans are among the threads that run through every part of that fabric, often in places the public never thinks to look." Ignacio Salazar, SER National President & CEO.

“Twenty-five years ago, hundreds of Americans went to work and never came home. Firefighters, police officers, flight crews, office workers, service workers, and men and women in uniform gave everything that day. Their families have carried that loss for a quarter century. We remember each of them not as a number but as a neighbor, a colleague, a parent, and a friend whose life had purpose and whose absence is still felt. At SER, we honor them by doing what they were doing that morning: showing up, working hard, and giving our best to one another." Ignacio Salazar, SER National President & CEO.

“Generation after generation, the American worker has met every change in the economy with skill, discipline, and determination. That capacity to adapt is the quiet engine of American prosperity, and it is the reason this Nation leads the world. When you invest in a worker, you strengthen a family, a community, and a country. Our task is to make certain that every American who is willing to work has the training to seize that opportunity, because America’s next chapter, like every chapter before it, will be written by its workers." Ignacio Salazar, SER National President & CEO.

Hiring mature workers brings valuable experiences, strong work ethics and diverse skills to the workplace. Through SCSEP, employers can connect with qualified, responsible workers while potentially reducing training costs and gaining employees who understand the importance of getting the job done.

SER YouthBuild Dallas, based in Oak Cliff, has partnered with Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity to build affordable housing in Dallas County. The YouthBuild participants learned from Habitat’s construction worksite supervisors, staff, and volunteers. Even though it was hot, the YouthBuild participants took hydration breaks and, at the end, felt good about building a house for a deserving family.

What is YouthBuild?
YouthBuild is a youth leadership and workforce development program designed to empower young adults to complete their education (GED), gain hands-on construction training, earn industry-recognized certifications, and become active leaders in their communities. This program is 100% free and made for motivated youth who are ready to step up and create real change in their lives.
