Employment Program (SCSEP) established under section 502 of the Older 
Americans Act (42 U.S.C. 3056) and any other Federal program that 
provides job training and placement services for older adults should--
            (1) work with nonprofit organizations that have a record of 
        success in developing and implementing research-based 
        technology curriculum designed specifically for older adults; 
        and
            (2) partner with such nonprofit organizations to provide 
        training, comprehensive student materials, and support for a 
        broad range of workforce technology skills, including basic and 
        intermediate computer skills, Internet, email, word processing, 
        spreadsheets, presentations, and other key skills appropriate 
        for assisting older adults to enter or re-enter the workforce.
