Workforce Solutions supports workforce development through corporate training, career training, and continuing education. Corporate training provides training developed through partnerships with regional business organizations. Career training guides individuals in short term career or job training or online professional development. Continuing education includes courses, seminars, and invited speakers to provide opportunities for professional development.
Eligible Tennessee residents may receive financial assistance for Workforce Solutions courses using Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funding that is made available locally. Students will need to complete the form using the below link. Once the form is completed, a Career Specialist with the local American Job Center will reach out to walk the individual through the process to find out what funds the individual is eligible to receive. Plan ahead! This process could take a minimum of three weeks to complete. For more WIOA questions, please contact your local American Job Center.
