WORK EXPERIENCE COMPONENT: INTERNSHIP Description of the component. Provide a summary of the activities and services. The internship component is for participants seeking short- term work experience to get entry-level exposure to a particular industry or field. It is as much of a learning experience as it is work. Ideally, interns spend their time working on relevant projects, learning about the field, making industry connections, and developing both hard and soft skills. Internships sometimes even lead to full-time job offers. Is this component subsidized by SNAP E&T? Subsidized Unsubsidized Both subsidized and unsubsidized Indicate the Target Population this component will serve. Select all that apply. ABAWDs 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. The criteria for participation will vary depending on the internship industry or field. For example, if a marketing internship is offered, case managers will research the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to participate in the marketing internship. If a participant does not meet the standards for the program, the FSET case manager will assign the participant to other activities to gain the required skills for the nursing program. 1/29/26, 10:30 AM State Plan WI FY26 - Amendment 1 https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-wify26stateplan//index.html 82/230
