SNAP Training and Employment ​Program
NOTE: Our office is temporary closed to in-person services.
We are currently providing services by phone, email, and through virtual workshops.
Program Information
WorkSource Lane STEP (SNAP Training & Employment Program) is designed to assist individuals that are receiving SNAP benefits. The participant will benefit our program by obtaining skills, training, and experience to increase their ability to obtain living-wage employment.
general information
SNAP customers who choose to participate in the program will meet one-on-one with a Career Coach who will assess their skills, interests, and goals. 

Our ​career coaches learn what their desired employment outcomes are and touch on any challenges that get in their way. Then, a customized Opportunity Plan will be developed to specifically target each goal.
​
​SNAP customers who develop an Opportunity Plan as a result of the assessment, can be eligible to receive employment and training services from WorkSource Lane and other STEP Providers.
