SNAP Employment and Training

Overview


Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients throughout Connecticut may be eligible to participate
in SNAP Employment and Training (E&T).

   
     

SNAP E&T is a work program designed to help SNAP recipients gain skills that will help increase self-sufficiency.

If you are receiving SNAP in Connecticut and not receiving money from the Temporary Family Assistance (TFA) program, you may be eligible to participate in SNAP E&T.  E&T is a skills-based program that provides short- term vocational programs at community colleges and community-based organizations.
