SNAP E&T 2024 National Forum: Scaling a Statewide Coaching and Case Management Model in Colorado

This session explores how Colorado integrated the Goal4 It! coaching model into its case management approach for Employment First (SNAP E&T) alongside other programs as part of a state-wide initiative to improve the consistency and quality of workforce development services. This session provides an overview of the Goal4 It! model and how it embeds science-based strategies for strengthening core self-regulation skills through goal achievement coaching. The session also shares state-level perspectives about the design and implementation of state-wide case management strategy in the context of a county-administered system, and how the state is promoting adoption and integration of the model through leadership development. Lastly, the session shares specific strategies of this model that advance and support the goals of SNAP E&T.
