Senior Guided Pathways

Empowering Futures, Embracing Wisdom

Facts:

  • Half of all people who lose their job after the age of 50 will never get comparable work and pay from that point on.

  • Community Colleges across the nation are facing enrollment and threats to their sustainability, leading them to look at older adults as a new student base.

  • The impact of AI and other disruptive technologies, coupled with exponential demand for services for the older adult population create a perfect environment for new career pathways.

Our Solution:

Senior Guided Pathways represents the culmination of SASCC’s work over the past decade, and is symbolic of our dedication to partnership and progress. It is the nation’s first community college initiative aimed at:

  • Equipping older adults with modern skills and training to succeed in today’s workforce

  • Promoting longevity for older adults seeking lifelong learning opportunities + ways to stay active and engaged

  • Offering curated certificate programs and internship opportunities for traditional college-age students pursuing careers in the aging services sector

  • Create societal structures for longevity for both older adults and community colleges

The program offers FREE tuition and FREE transportation to and from campus provided from RYDE Senior Transportation.
