Building on the first webinar, “Opportunities in SNAP E&T Part 1 – Introduction & The National Landscape,” panelists from the Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development, Greater Memphis Local Workforce Development Board, Tennessee Department of Human Services, and University of Tennessee Extension’s SNAP Employment and Training Program will discuss the mechanics of strong coordination across programs and funding streams and share provider perspectives on serving individuals whose entry-points span across multiple systems. The panel will also examine the nexus between SNAP E&T and the broader elements of the workforce system including braiding and blending funding, managing administrative processes, and aligning information systems. The aim of this webinar is to encourage the use of SNAP E&T as a resource to enhance and expand existing workforce development programs and develop strategies to cohesively support participants as they move through multiple systems.

The webinar will define and discuss cultural competency and the various points included in the Cultural Competency Continuum. The webinar will provide actionable steps teachers, administrators, and support staff can take to support a culturally competent and inclusive learning environment for students. During the webinar, participants will be introduced to the six points on the cultural competence continuum: cultural destructiveness, cultural incapacity, cultural blindness, cultural pre-competence, cultural competence, and cultural proficiency. Additionally, participants will be introduced to concepts that impact cultural competence, such as implicit bias, microaggressions, and inclusion during the webinar. Participants will leave the webinar with tools and actionable steps to improve equity on both an individual and programmatic level.
