Job Description

Description : Who We Are

VANTAGE Aging is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering older adults — a group too often overlooked in today’s world. We provide comprehensive programs that support every aspect of life, from nutritious meal and grocery assistance to volunteer opportunities, community engagement, and job training designed to help individuals succeed in today’s workforce. Our culture is collaborative and rooted in community. At VANTAGE Aging, we believe our differences make us stronger, and we are committed to fostering a welcoming, compassionate environment where everyone can thrive.

What We Do

The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is the nation's oldest program to help low-income, unemployed individuals 55+ receive job training and a path to employment. SCSEP is administered by the US Department of Labor. VANTAGE Aging operates SCSEP in 34 counties across Indiana and 38 counties in Ohio.

This role requires regular travel (2-3 days / week) within Summit, Medina and Geauga County.

• Conduct job development and business outreach activities proactively to secure unsubsidized job openings that align with participant IEPs, focusing on placement outcomes and meeting required program performance measures.
