The SNAP Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) program offers job resources, support and training to residents receiving SNAP benefits. SNAP E&T can help you learn new skills, explore careers, and get a job.
Some people receiving SNAP must meet work requirements to maintain their benefits. If this applies to you, participating in SNAP E&T is a way to meet your work requirement. Learn about SNAP time-limited work rules and who needs to follow them on the Minnesota Department of Human Services’ website.
