Job Seeker FAQ

What is SNAP2Jobs?

SNAP2Jobs OFFERS a free online course that equips people with tools and practical strategies essential to taking a next step toward meaningful employment. A major part of the SNAP2Jobs program is connecting you with a “Success Coach” who helps you get the most out of the program content. Once you successfully complete the program you become eligible to start our “Job Search Success” program.

Who’s eligible for the program?

Anyone who is in poverty. We define poverty by using the HUD 30% annual income limit. 

Anyone who is motivated to get a job. 

You must have stable housing as it is the key factor in you keeping a job.

How do I enroll in the program?

Please fill out the interest form on our homepage. Once we receive your information, you will receive a link to complete an intake form. Once completed (about 10 minutes), you will schedule your meeting with an eligibility coordinator to discuss the program and what the expectations are.

When will I receive the $50 digital gift card for the program?

You will receive your $50 gift card upon enrollment of the program and completing the welcome module. Payments are made on Friday’s.

How long does the program take? Can I get it done in less than 4 weeks?

Everyone progresses through the curriculum at their own pace. We recommend moving through the course slowly and intentionally, so that you can gain the greatest benefits from the materials offered. Once you are working with your coach, you and your coach will develop a plan that is best for you.

Do I need to have a computer to complete the program?

A computer is not required to complete the program. All the material can be completed using a smartphone. For many people the larger screen and keyboard of a computer make it easier to complete the assignments.

What if I have a technical issue while in the program?

We have a tech support team that will assist with any technical issues you may have. If you are having a technical support issue, please contact us at info@snap2jobs.org.

Who supports me throughout the program?

You will be supported by the staff at SNAP2Jobs, volunteers, and by your assigned Success Coach. Your Success Coach will interact with you on a weekly basis, supporting you at each step in the program.

What if I have a personal issue that prevents me from completing the program?

Our objective is to see you succeed in the SNAP2Jobs work readiness program. If a personal issue arises that prevents you from completing the program, please let us know. Our support services team may be able to help. Note:  The program must be completed in 60 days or less.

What can I expect once I have completed the program?

Once you complete the program, you will have the tools necessary to obtain a better job. While we cannot guarantee employment, we believe the skills that you develop while in the program will help you be more confident in yourself and in your job search and present your “best” self. Once you complete the program, you’ll have a job seeker toolkit that includes the following:

  • A highly polished and professional looking resume
  • Opportunities for continuing education
  • Well-developed interview skills
  • A strong understanding of the key employable traits that hiring managers look for
  • A job search plan
  • A certificate of course completion
  • Access to a network of well-paying employers

If at the end of the program you found a job – we have an additional 60 day “Job Success” program available for you. Your Success Coach can explain that to you. If have not found your best job by the end of the program – we have an additional 60 day “Job Search Success” program available to you too.  We also offer 3 new certification program options that may help you achieve your career goals.

Note: The program must be completed in 60 days or less.
