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 Vision: Our vision is to support every SNAP E&T participant in improving their economic well-being and achieving lasting financial independence. Mission: NH SNAP E&T’s mission is to provide access to career-focused and participant-centered training, education, and support services that help participants build pathways to employment and financial independence, through strong collaboration with workforce development partners. The New Hampshire SNAP E&T program is administered by the Bureau of Employment Supports (BES) under the Division of Economic Stability (DES) within the NH Department of Health and Human Stability (DHHS). The NH SNAP E&T program uses a collaborative coaching model and provides a wide array of workforce development services. Through comprehensive assessments, participants are guided to identify their strengths, interests, and barriers. These assessments are used to develop personalized employment plans with a focus on training programs related to areas of high-wage and/or high-demand employment within the State. NH SNAP E&T workforce development priorities align with that of the State Workforce Innovation Board (SWIB). The SWIB is comprised of business owners, union representatives, state legislators, statewide agency heads, local elected officials, and representatives from other workforce partners at the State level. Their mission is to promote and advocate for talent development by partnering with businesses, agencies, educational institutions, and organizations to support a unified and innovative workforce development system that meets the needs of business and individual customers.
