SNAP Employment & Training Program

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment and Training Program (E&T) helps eligible participants achieve their vocational goals and increase self-sufficiency through funded education, skills training, and supportive services. These services include SNAP E&T components that are offered to participants to provide them a direct link to employment. Tennessee currently offers Adult Education, Job Search Training, Subsidized Work Based Learning, Job Readiness, Work Experience, Work Readiness Training, and Job Retention services. SNAP E&T services are a combined effort between the Tennessee Department of Human Services (TDHS), the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development (TDLWD), and community partnerships. TDLWD co-enrolls customers with Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to provide additional support services that cannot be covered under E&T.
