SUMMARY OF PROGRAM Provide the vision and mission of the State E&T program. In addition, describe how your State agency's E&T program meets the purpose of E&T which is to: Increase the ability of SNAP participants to obtain regular employment Meet State or local workforce needs Florida’s mission and vision for the SNAP E&T program is to ensure participants gain the education and skills necessary to obtain and retain employment while earning a self-sustaining wage and meeting the workforce needs of businesses in their local communities. For Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2026, Florida will offer SNAP E&T services to mandatory E&T participants, which include: • Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWDs). • Work registrants subject to general work requirements between the ages of 18 and 59 who do not have children under age 18 in the home, do not meet an exemption, and determined eligible for the program by DCF. The Florida SNAP E&T program offers participants the opportunity to meet the ABAWD and general work requirements of the program through participation in qualifying program components available through Local Workforce Development Boards (LWDBs) and career centers across the state. The program is intended to assist participants in gaining employment in in-demand occupations within their local area. This is both critical in helping individuals find a path to economic self-sufficiency and ensuring that businesses have a sustainable talent pipeline to meet their current and projected needs. Florida’s mandatory SNAP E&T program covers all 67 counties operating under 21 LWDBs. Florida believes that the mandatory SNAP E&T program increases the state’s capacity to help participants reduce periods of unemployment and disconnection from the labor market, in addition to connecting participants to workforce programs, training providers, employment and other resources offered through community-based partners. If DCF determines there is not an appropriate and available SNAP E&T component for mandatory E&T participants, the individual will be exempt from mandatory SNAP E&T participation.
