Programs

Food Stamp Employment and Training Program (FSET)

The goal of the FSET program is to provide opportunities for food stamp recipients that will lead to paid employment and decrease their dependency on assistance programs.

The program is open to those individuals age 16-59 who are not also receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Registrants are referred to the FSET program at the time of food stamp application, reapplication and every 12 months thereafter unless a change occurs that affects exemption status.

Clients in the program may participate in a job search, job readiness training, and/or unpaid work experience, which may serve to make them more employable. Supportive services may include child day care, transportation, and medical/dental services.

For more information about FSET, please call (804) 646-7548.
