Workforce Development

In the last decade, Tennessee has experienced remarkable economic growth and the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) community colleges have played an integral role in the progress. From providing short-term programs to customized, long-term initiatives, each of the thirteen public community colleges have developed innovative strategies to meet the workforce training needs of the local community, region and state. During the past three years, the TBR community colleges provided training for more than 1500 industries and small businesses across the State. During that same period, more than 150,000 employees received training in skills ranging from GED preparation to computer networking administration.
