FRANKFORT, Ky. (Jan. 8, 2018) - Kentuckians who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and are eligible for the federally funded Employment and Training (E&T) program will now receive assistance from Kentucky Career Centers to meet education and employment training needs. 

To better serve the people of Kentucky, several agencies in the state government created a new system for SNAP recipients to access locally available training opportunities and find open jobs. This new system became available January 1, thanks to this collaboration between the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), which administers the SNAP program through the Department for Community Based Services (DCBS), the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet’s Department of Workforce Investment (DWI), and the 10 Local Workforce Development Boards.

The Cumberlands KY-FAME Chapter is currently accepting applications for the Fall 2016 semester. The KY-FAME Advanced Manufacturing Technician program offers an opportunity for paid internships at local places of employment combined with college classes held at Somerset Community College resulting in an Associates of Applied Science degree in Industrial Maintenance Technology with an Advanced Manufacturing Technician Certificate. Students attend classes two full days per week (8 to 10 hours) at a Somerset Community College. Students work three days per week (typically 24 hours per week) at a manufacturing facility for a competitive wage while gaining hands-on experience.
