Note we have ended any direct support payments and gift cards associated with the SNAP2Jobs program.  Our program still offers one on one success coaching, and a detailed interactive program that supports your job search goals.  Additionally, we have added 3 new certification program options to help you achieve your career goals.

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. You can complete the material earlier, but the final package of certificate, and reference letter, and gift card is not available until all assignments are completed. Note: The program must be completed in 60 days or less.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“Everything changed 3 weeks ago when I started this program… my husband has had a big smile on his face!  I got a great job at $20 per hour”

“It was a great program.  It taught me what my strengths were and rebuilt my outdated resume.  Interviews were my all time scariest thing to do, not anymore!”

“This program changed everything …”

It’s easy! It begins with expressing an interest, just fill in the form at the bottom of the Success Coach page. We will contact you, exchange some more information, and train you. Training includes both self paced online content, and a “live” training session. It takes less than 5-6 hours to complete! Once you are trained, and feel ready, we will assign 1-2 job seekers to you for support over a 12 week period. Most of our coaches spend an hour or less each week coaching job seekers.  Don’t worry we are here to support you the whole way.

There are many reasons to be a Success Coach – we often hear: “I want to be a mentor” or “I want to make a difference” or  “I want to be a change agent”.  But maybe the biggest reason is that it gives you the opportunity to love your neighbor by serving people in ways that encourage them to take charge of their own life, and make positive, practical steps forward.

On the practical side, you can expect to invest about an hour a week for each job seeker assigned to you for a 4-week period.  On the personal side, you should expect to be challenged, surprised, and even rewarded as you interact with the job seeker on the course materials and as you hear about the plans, hopes, and dreams people have for their future.

Our Success Coach training is comprehensive and designed to support individuals with a wide range of technical aptitudes.

The actual time commitment varies upon the number of job seekers you coach, but as a standard, it is 1 hour per week per job seeker during the 4-week course period. We repeat this process over a 12 week period. The number of job seekers you handle is up to you, it’s good to start with 1-2 depending on your time availability.  We hope your experience is great and that you can stay with us a long time. But we are flexible, just let us know what you can do and we can adjust accordingly.

We are not expecting coaches to be counselors or social workers. SNAP2Jobs have staff who can assist with these types of needs.  We make it easy for the coaches to “hand off” these needs to our trained staff. We want our clients to let us know anytime they experience life challenges as we can often provide a solution that enables them to continue with the program.

Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it. Our experience has been that Success Coaches frequently develop strong relationships with their job seekers, a relationship that can transcend the boundaries of the program. 

Chris said …  ” SNAP2Jobs provided me an opportunity to work with individuals in poverty from my home(virtual). I was able to guide and support these folks as they progressed through the SNAP2Jobs workforce readiness program. It was exciting and meaningful to be a part of their lives and to watch them grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Training for the program was fast, and I was able to start helping their clients within a week of signing up as a volunteer. It was really easy to get started and I felt like I was making an impact almost instantly. I would recommend this program to anyone who has a heart to serve and who wants to make a difference by helping individuals in poverty gain the skills needed to find a job.”
