Empowering people for success through Skills, Employment and Training

The SET for Success initiative provides individuals and families in specific DCFS programs the opportunity to participate and gain the skills, education or work experience needed to become employable and earn a living wage. The three programs under SET for Success— SNAP E&T, STEP and CSE E&T—empower individuals to transform their lives through training and skills to overcome barriers.

SET for Success Initiatives

SNAP E&T

Reaching Empowerment through Skills, Employment and Training

SNAP E&T is a free, voluntary program for individuals who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. The program provides individuals with skills, training and experience that will help them start a job or change into a better-paying job if they already work. Participation in the program does not affect an individual’s SNAP benefits.

All work‑eligible applicants/recipients of FITAP participate in the STEP program. STEP coaches help participants develop a job readiness plan that looks at basic skills, needs and interests to help them get a job.
