The SNAP to Skills Project (S2S) is a technical assistance initiative of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). S2S provides technical assistance and resources that help States build job-driven SNAP Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) programs.

Since 2015, S2S has used a variety of innovative strategies to help States build SNAP E&T programs. A primary focus of S2S has been to provide direct and intensive technical assistance to State SNAP agencies who are building their program through the use of partnerships with effective workforce development providers. In addition to working directly with over 30 States, S2S provides in-person opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, such as the SNAP E&T State Institutes and the SNAP E&T Learning Academy.

From 2023-2025, S2S will be operated by Mathematica Policy Research. The project will continue to focus on building partnerships with E&T providers, but will place a new emphasis on supporting States to build expertise in building a vision and strategy, improving data collection and reporting, and strengthening the financial management capacity of SNAP E&T programs.
