Join the upcoming webinar: SNAP Employment and Training Pilots – An Information Session on the Request for Applications.
Date & Time: Wednesday, September 24, 2014, 3:30-4:30 pm EDT
Overview:
On August 25, 2014, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the availability of $200 million for up to 10 employment and training (E&T) pilot projects within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and a robust evaluation. These pilots give USDA and State partners an opportunity to build on existing SNAP E&T programs and test new strategies to determine the most effective ways to help SNAP recipients gain and retain employment that leads to self-sufficiency.
SNAP helps eligible low-income families put food on the table and supports critical and needed employment skills and job training so that people can become self-sufficient through gainful employment. The pilot projects offer a chance to connect even more SNAP participants with better work opportunities.
The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) invites State SNAP agencies interested in the E&T pilots to participate in a webinar on Wednesday, September 24, 2014 at 3:30 pm (EDT). The purpose of this webinar is to help unpack the priorities, requirements, and expectations outlined in the E&T Pilot Request for Applications (RFA).
