The Senior Community Service Employment Program is an employment and training program for older persons wishing to remain, enter or re-enter the local workforce. Individuals 55 years of age or older who fall within specific income guidelines are eligible to apply to this program. Enrollees participate for 20 hours a week and are paid the minimum wage while enrolled on this program. In addition, enrollees receive vacation and sick time and some individuals may be eligible for partial medical insurance reimbursements. The Title V program is federally funded and operates throughout the Lower Naugatuck Valley towns of Ansonia, Derby, Shelton, Seymour, and Oxford.
