Indicate the Target Population this component will serve. Select all that apply. ABAWDs Any TN SNAP recipient interested in E&T. Homeless Returning citizens (aka: ex-offenders) Single parents Students Those that reside in rural areas Underemployed Veterans Describe the criteria for participation. Include the skills, knowledge, or experience necessary for participation in the component. For example, literacy or numeracy levels, recent labor market attachment, computer literacy, etc. Participants must be enrolled with a TPP that has a SNAP E&T approved CTE program and be approved for CTE funding with WIOA Title I Services. Participants deemed not eligible for Title I services but who are eligible for SNAP E&T services and do not possess a bachelor’s degree may also participate. Information about each participant’s abilities, knowledge, skills, and/or needs is gathered during the participant’s initial assessment and through ongoing case management. This information as well as required skills listed by the training provider is used to determine appropriateness of participation in this component. Individuals who received SNAP E&T funding for previous Vocational Training are not eligible to participate. If SNAP E&T previously paid for vocational training, SNAP E&T can assist with Job Search Training to help address the challenges they have experienced in obtaining employment in the field. SNAP E&T is only able to assist with an additional vocational training program for the following medical pathways: CNA to LPN, CNA to CCMA, LPN to RN or CCMA to RN. If a new barrier is identified during the assessment that prevents employment in the prior field, SNAP E&T will determine if additional training would be justified to assist the participant in meeting their new employment goal. Costs are approved on a term-by-term basis. Ongoing assistance is dependent on continued eligibility for SNAP E&T, available funding, and participant progress and cooperation as outlined in the Voluntary Agreement.
