Workforce Development and Employment Services

“I just want to take a minute to thank you for not giving up on me. I have struggled these last few weeks and you have managed to keep me going. I thank you for everything you have done for me.”
Margaret
“KTAP helped me get through a period when I didn’t have a job and no child support coming in. It was a great help. My Career Developer, Maria, was the biggest help of all, helping me put in applications. It’s a great program!”

Kentucky Works Programs

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training (SNAP E&T)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, helps low-income people buy nutritious food. SNAP, like many assistance programs, has work requirements. One of the SNAP general work requirements is participating in the SNAP E&T program. The SNAP E&T program promotes long-term self-sufficiency and independence by preparing SNAP recipients for employment through receiving on-the-job training, work experience, work-related education, and training activities. SNAP E&T is a program of the Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) that is administered by five non-profits throughout Kentucky. Audubon Area Employment Services is one of the five SNAP E&T providers for DCBS in Kentucky and serves 34 counties.

Senior Community Service Employment Program


The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), funded by Title V of the Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1965 provides participants with training and supportive services they need to improve their lives and gain self-sufficiency.
