Agricultural Conservation Experienced Services Project

In 2005, the U.S. Department of Agriculture entered into a pilot project with the National Older Worker Career Center (NOWCC) to create a corps of experienced workers to support conservation efforts, and has since been expanded to include more than 200 positions in 30+ states.  The Agricultural Conservation Experienced Services (ACES) Program places individuals age 55 and over in full-time and part-time positions at the Natural Resources Conservation Service.  The program offers temporary support assignments ranging from clerical to editing, writing, engineering, and scientific.  Participants receive paid health insurance and other benefits.
