The D.C. Office on Aging Employment Program

The D.C. Office on Aging Older Workers Employment and Training Program (OWETP) is a public/private program that provides employment and training opportunities for District of Columbia residents 55 years of age and older. We are committed to meeting labor market demand by matching qualified job seekers with appropriate positions. Since program inception, the office has operated an employment program for seniors, especially those in need of additional income to meet the high cost-of-living in the District.


The primary goal of the OWETP is to increase employment opportunities for District residents 55 years of age and older by matching employers’ labor needs with seniors’ job skills. These services are provided free of charge.
