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 OK SNAP Works is Oklahoma’s SNAP Employment &Training (SNAP E&T) program. Our mission is to provide SNAP participants opportunities to gain skills, training, education, work, or experience that will increase their ability to obtain sustainable and living-wage employment, as well as to meet the ABAWD work requirements. OK SNAP Works is a voluntary program that runs at no cost to the participant. Through our contracted partners, OK SNAP Works participants will have access to a variety of resources and additional case management. It also provides several supportive services to assist the participant with potential barriers, such as transportation, given that they are reasonable and necessary for the participant to be successful in the program. OK SNAP Works is focused on fulfilling the State's workforce requirements by equipping participants with the comprehensive skills and knowledge necessary for success in their chosen career paths. Participants undergo an initial assessment that evaluates their interests, strengths, weaknesses, and areas for development. This ongoing case management ensures that participants receive all the necessary resources to foster a strong work ethic and respect for their jobs. Through personalized one-on-one support, the program partners work to ensure participants are well-prepared and supported in their professional endeavors. Through relationships with Oklahoma Workforce, the OK SNAP Works team has gained valuable insight into the career paths needed to meet the state’s workforce demands. In FFY 2026, the team will focus on identifying new partners that can provide EPC components leading directly to certifications and career pathways aligned with the needs of Oklahoma employers. This effort is how we made the connection with CBM Trucking, which will be Oklahoma's first CDL certification E&T program. Is the State’s E&T program administered at the State or county level?
