This IDHS program provides special target populations of SNAP recipients with intensive education, job skills training, pre-employment services, and unsubsidized job placement. It was formerly known as Food Stamp Employment & Training.

The SNAP Employment & Training Program's (SNAP E&T) goal is to help you improve your work skills and assist you in finding a job through short-term training and work assignments as well as GED, resume-writing and interviewing classes.
