Current Narrative:
Louisiana SCSEP will continue to strive to meet the required goals and targets established by Dol.

Additionally, Louisiana will apply the following strategies to improve SCSEP services:
- Work with new and existing host agencies in effort to improve and increase training opportunities for participants.
- Expand opportunities for participants through On the job Experience-OJE, which means to develop employer relationships in the private sector.
- Expand supportive services to include meeting transportation needs for seniors through mass transportation (bus tokens, jobs on bus line, etc.), car repair and collaboration for transportation with other agencies serving seniors
- Collaborate with community colleges, adult learning centers and libraries to provide basic computer training for seniors.
