SNAP Employment and Training Helping to Make Dreams Come True

Palmetto Goodwill in Charleston, South Carolina, is one of many agencies across the Southeast that is a USDA FNS SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) partner. SNAP E&T helps participants to gain skills and find work that moves them forward to selfsufficiency. Palmetto Goodwill offers trainings on site, and also utilizes its retrofitted RV Mobile Career Opportunity Center, “The Navigator,” to travel to 24 rural communities to provide various resources and services.

During an in-person meeting this year at Palmetto Goodwill, the agency shared with SERO staff that their participants are thankful for the opportunity for its SNAP to Work program and other employment and training services. This year’s visit was a part of SERO’s plan to identify innovation and promising practices, as well as technical assistance opportunities for SNAP E&T in federal fiscal year 2023.
