In this session, attendees learned how SNAP state agencies can leverage reporting flexibility to help their SNAP E&T program shine through their data. By using varying levels of outcomes, from measuring improvements in soft skills to employment gains and credentials, state agencies have the opportunity to celebrate SNAP E&T participants’ accomplishments, big and small. Panelists included FNS, a SNAP state agency, and a SNAP E&T provider on how to use data to tell your program’s story, and measure the quality of your program.
