building Tennessee’s future workforce.
Student-Focused Interventions
Inspired by equity gaps, tnAchieves programs are rooted in the idea that all students deserve a supported pathway to a meaningful career. Using data as a guidepost, tnAchieves pilots, analyzes then scales programs to serve students statewide.
Career
Connections
tnAchieves builds career connections by pairing students with mentors and job shadowing experiences that bring careers to life. By scaling these opportunities statewide, we ensure every student can explore their interests and build relationships that guide them toward a successful future.
Community
Collaboration
Students thrive when their community is behind them. tnAchieves actively works to bridge the gap between education and business/industry. By joining Team tnAchieves, organizations and employers commit to supporting positive student outcomes.
AT SCALE: The tnAchieves PODCAST
