Senior Training and Employment

This program of the Allegheny County Department of Human Services may be of interest to some of your libraries.

The Senior Training and Employment Program (STEP) has been a successful program for several decades - for both older workers who are forced into early retirement without financial supports and for nonprofits struggling to meet increasing needs with reduced funding. But in today’s depressed economy, STEP is invaluable. Non-profit organizations interested in becoming a host agency should call 412-350-6875 or 412-350-6809.

For more information see the Senior Training and Employment Program (STEP) flyer.
