Hear from SNAP E&T programs about the strategies that they employ to meet the needs of their participants by helping them overcome these barriers to success.
Learn how state SNAP agencies can partner with the WIOA system as they design E&T programs to ensure that SNAP participants are connected to employer-driven programs.

This study was undertaken to address this knowledge gap.
