Skill Up Tennessee
Jobs are available but employers struggle to find skilled workers. People want to work but may not be aware of the skills they need. The goal of this program is to help individuals reach their employment potential and become self-sufficient. A case management component can allow funding for testing fees, tuition, uniforms, gas cards, etc. If a person receives SNAP benefits but not TANF- they are eligible for Skill Up TN!
