We help families increase savings, decrease debt, spend wisely, and plan for the future. Through research-based education, coaching, and community engagement, the UT Extension Department of Family and Consumer Sciences delivers consumer solutions that help Tennessee families spend, save, borrow, and protect their assets.
Skill Up Tennessee is UT Extension’s SNAP Employment and Training program. We help eligible SNAP participants in gaining skills, training, work, or experience that will increase their ability to obtain regular employment. The ultimate goal is self-sufficiency. We can help you focus on short-term training leading to credentials for a future career. We can also help you determine if you qualify for additional support (such as gas cards or transportation, uniforms, testing fees, textbooks, etc.)
If you are a SNAP participant and would like to meet with our FCS Agent to discuss how you can benefit from this program, please call our office at 865-453-3695 or fill out the form below.
