SkillUP MISSOURI

Picture
SkillUP engages SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program) recipients in education and training to pursue long-term employment in a career pathway in demand and provide good wages.
 
Seven of Missouri's community and technical colleges participate in this program to provide education and training to SNAP participants. Each college has a range of programs available to participants and will guide them in choosing a pathway based on interviews and testing. 
 
The SkillUP grant is administered by the Missouri Department of Social Services, Family Support Division and funded through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Missouri Community College Association acts as the program administrator for Missouri's 9 community and technical colleges.​

The SkillUP program can help participants:
​●      Learn needed skills through workshops and classes
●      Pay for short-term training and certifications
●      Pay for some daycare, work, or training costs
●      Update or create resumes to showcase skills to employers
●      Connect with employers
