SNAP E&T Partnership Interest

Tennessee Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) is a voluntary program that helps eligible participants achieve their vocational goals and increase self-sufficiency through funded education, skills training, and supportive services.

Partnership for Workforce Success

TN SNAP E&T’s goal is to provide participants with the opportunity to acquire skills, training, work experience, and/or an industry-recognized credential that provides a direct link to a successful career. TN SNAP E&T also aims to ensure that participants have the necessary skills for successful job search and the vocational readiness needed to obtain regular employment. These goals support the program’s mission to assist participants in finding a career that pays a self-sustaining wage- and vision- that Tennesseans receiving SNAP benefits achieve long-term economic self-sufficiency.

TN SNAP E&T Services are a combined effort between the Tennessee Department of Human Services (TDHS, Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development (TDLWD), and community partners across the state. TDHS and TDLWD collaboratively administer SNAP E&T in all 95 TN counties though and Interagency Grant Agreement (IGA) and intermediary model that leverages public and private resources within TN’s workforce system. In Federal Fiscal Year 2026, United Way of Greater Nashville (UWGN) will serve as TN’s primary SNAP E&T intermediary partner under contract with TDLWD.
