SkillUP is a program offered in partnership with the Missouri Department of Social Services. Its primary goal is to assist Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients in gaining the skills, training, education, and connections needed to secure employment and achieve success in the workplace. Here are some key aspects of what SkillUP typically offers:
Skills and Training: The program provides access to training programs and educational opportunities to enhance the skills of participants.
Education Support: SkillUP helps individuals pursue education that aligns with their career goals, which can include attending institutions like MACC.
Employer Connections: The program facilitates connections between participants and potential employers, increasing the chances of finding suitable employment.
Support for Basic Needs: SkillUP goes beyond training and education by assisting with basic needs such as work-related expenses, and uniforms. This support helps individuals focus on their education and employment goals.
Application Process: To access SkillUP, individuals are typically required to fill out an online referral form. This form likely serves as the initial step to assess eligibility and connect individuals with the appropriate resources.
It's important to note that the specific services and offerings of SkillUP may vary, and individuals interested in the program should contact the designated person, in this case, Avery Cockerham, for more detailed information and guidance on the application process.
