Check out this important information!

More than half of SNAP participants who complete Oregon’s SNAP Employment and Training (STEP) program are employed shortly afterward.

STEP services may include:
• Career coaching and employment planning
• Resume development and interview preparation
• Education and training opportunities
• Job search assistance
• Connections to local employers
• Help addressing barriers that can make it hard to find work or complete training

As more Oregonians seek support navigating federal changes to SNAP work or activity rules, we want to make sure you know about these services. If you think the rules may apply to you, reach out to us! We can help you understand your options.
