Participants

Skill Up Tennessee is a program that provides SNAP Employment and Training services. We help SNAP participants gain the training and skills needed to get a good job. Our goal is to help you prepare for employment.

If you’re ready to move forward on your career path, we’re here to help.

We help clear your path to a career.

Things like training, testing, and uniforms cost money, and we can help.

We focus on short-term training leading to credentials that are in demand.

We will pair you with a Career Navigator who will work with you on your journey to help you meet your goals.
