The policy on this page is from a previous version of the handbook.
The FoodShare Employment and Training (FSET) program is Wisconsin’s employment and training program operated as part of the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), known as FoodShare in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) administers FoodShare and FSET. Wisconsin has been recognized nationally for offering a voluntary FSET program with superior services and outstanding results.
The purpose of FSET is to provide FoodShare members with opportunities to gain skills, training, and experience needed to improve employment prospects and reduce reliance on FoodShare benefits. Wisconsin’s FSET program focuses on identifying the strengths, needs, and preferences of job seekers to provide comprehensive, individualized services that will result in successful competitive employment. FSET also offers FoodShare members a way to meet the work requirements. See the FoodShare Handbook 3.16.1 Work Requirements and 3.17.1 Able-Bodied Adults without Dependents for more information on work requirements.
