State Agency E&T Provider Self-Assessment Intermediary Local Office Other When are participants assessed? When a participant engages in the SNAP E&T program, an employability assessment is conducted to evaluate the participant’s skills, work history, education, interests, and potential barriers to employment. This assessment helps determine the most appropriate E&T component and informs the development of an individualized employment plan. The assessment may be conducted by: • A Workforce Coordinator • E&T Provider staff • Or WIOA Title I staff, depending on the participant's enrollment pathway and location. Assessments are typically completed during the orientation or enrollment phase, ensuring services are aligned with the participant’s needs from the outset. Tools used may vary by provider, but commonly include structured intake forms, barrier identification checklists, goal-setting templates, and in some cases, standardized assessments used in coordination with workforce development partners.
