USDA Literature Review on Wage Subsidies and Work-Based Learning for SNAP

The “Employment and Training Opportunities in SNAP" final rule allowed SNAP E&T to fund subsidized wages for E&T participants in work-based learning or other work experience activities. This study describes the wage subsidy and work-based learning models that aid in improving employment outcomes, the extent to which these models promote strong connections between government programs and employers, and the implications of previous findings on how to best implement wage subsidy and work-based learning programs within SNAP E&T.
