National Able Network Expands Its Reach to Central Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska!
National Able Network is happy to announce that it is now serving seniors through the Senior Community Service Employment Program in central Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska!
National Able Network has been serving mature workers throughout its 40-year history, and has provided exemplary service through the Senior Community Service Employment Program since 1985. Today, seniors make up nearly half of our country’s workforce, and according to U.S. News, that number is expected to grow by almost 20 percent over the next 10 years!
“It’s organizations like National Able Network and programs like the Senior Community Service Employment Program that help mature workers build the skills and confidence necessary to enter the workforce and develop a path to self-sufficiency,” said National Able Network Vice President of Workforce Services and Development, Patricia Wilkins.
The Senior Community Service Employment Program is the only federally funded program that provides low-income seniors with resources to help them seamlessly reenter the workforce. Through this program, seniors receive paid part-time community services positions and work-based training at local non-profit organizations. Last year, National Able Network provided training and employment resources to 1,466 seniors nationally. These senior participants, in turn, provided upwards of 800,000 working hours at local organizations in their communities!

I sent an inquiry about a month or so ago and thus far have received no response from your office. I am wondering if you may have the new National Abilities Program Manager for the Grand Island office please schedule and provide an orientation jointly to our Dep’t. of Ed. NE VR agency and DOL (Workforce Development) Office staff who are housed together at 203 East Stolley Park Road. It would be nice if the NE National Abilities Program staff for 55 & older could work collaboratively together with both of our agencies to assist 55 & older clients with disabilities who qualify. Outreach would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
Hi Rita,
Thanks for reaching out! Please reach out to our Contact Center at 855-994-8300 and they will answer any questions you may have about our Grand Island office location.
I have been waiting to be placed in a job assignment since 2016. I was told by Stacey O’Hare that I was #3 on the list for Coles County area, as of March 2017. I’m ready, willing and able to come back into the job market!!!
We are very interested in signing up to be a SCSEP host agency. We are a non-profit organization that serves Native American older workers on the Omaha Reservation in Macy, Nebraska. There is a very high poverty rate and unemployment over 70%. This type of program would go a long way in helping to create opportunities and employment for older Native Americans who live on the reservation.
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for reaching out! We’d like to learn more about your organization!
Please feel free to contact our Nebraska office at nebraskascsep@nationalable.org for more information on becoming a host agency.
Thanks,
Megan
