The Senior AIDES program is a federally funded program whose purpose is to train, retrain and prepare Older Workers - age 55 and older for entry or reentry into the workforce. Through our national sponsor, Senior Service America Inc., the Orange County Senior AIDES program is able to help provide a trained pool of candidates for Orange County employers.
As a part of their employment plan, Senior AIDES are temporarily assigned to a Host Agency (non-profit or governmental entity). While in the program, Senior AIDES learn the skills needed to obtain and maintain employment. Seniors who successfully transfer out of the program and into unsubsidized employment have the desired soft skills and basic skill sets needed to enter/renter the workforce.
The Senior AIDES Program has a number of candidates that are trained to meet the needs of Orange County employers. Senior AIDES hold a variety of positions in the Orange County Community:
- Clerical AIDE
- Receptionist
- Program Assistant
- Teacher's Assistant
- Driver
- Data Entry Clerk
- File Clerk
- Food Service
Each of the Senior AIDES has shown to be an integral part of the site at which they are placed. 85% of our Senior AIDES have a High School diploma or G.E.D equivalent and 46% have completed some or 4 years of college. Senior AIDES can bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and a dedicated work ethic to your business. Each of the Senior AIDES in the program has a resume that is readily available at the request of an employer through your local Business Services Center. For more information on the Senior AIDES Program please contact your local Business Services Representative or Ron Milone, Senior AIDES Project Director at 714-834-7121.
