Overview
The CFET program is federally funded by the USDA, FNS, which is also the entity responsible for the federal oversight of SNAP and employment & training services. CFET is the SNAP corresponding employment and training program in California. The CDSS is the entity responsible for the oversight of CF and CFET services in California.
The goal of the CFET program is to:
- Increase job placement, retention and wages;
- Increase CFET participation across a dynamic mix of people, communities and cultures;
- Increase employability by removing barriers to employment;
- Increase skills attainment and credentialing; and
- Lead an efficient and effective customer focused CFET program.
The SCCSSA has the autonomy to create an employment and training program for CF participants in Santa Clara County through Third-Party Partners who are often established and trusted employment & training providers already providing services within the community. Each approved Third-Party Partner must provide one or more of the components covered within this handbook. The County's CFET program is approved annually by the CDSS and FNS through the submission of the CFET Annual Plan. Upon successful approval, the County maintains oversight of the CFET program in Santa Clara County.
