The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) program provides workforce development services to SNAP recipients, including job training, education, and work experience. Texas employers may benefit from SNAP E&T partnerships that provide pre-screened, trained workers and may reduce hiring and training costs.
How SNAP E&T Benefits Employers
SNAP E&T in Texas is administered through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and local workforce development boards. The program funds training, job readiness preparation, and support services for SNAP recipients seeking employment. Employers can partner with the program to access a pipeline of motivated, pre-screened workers who have completed job readiness training.
Employer Benefits
- Pre-screened candidates: Workers complete job readiness training before placement
- Training cost offsets: Some training costs may be covered by program funding
- Support services: Participants may receive transportation and childcare assistance that improves retention
- WOTC stacking: SNAP recipients often qualify for WOTC tax credits, providing additional employer benefits

Industries That Benefit Most
