Adjustment • Around 2002 the SCSEP became more of an employment assisting program with mandated unsubsidized job placement goals. • COASV redesigned and changed the purpose of the homecare aide training class as a “Job Training Program” and revised the class curriculum and number of sessions plus the eligibility criteria for the student applicant recruitment.
