How do we Build a more prepared Tennessee workforce?
-
Holistic Student Supports
Students First, Always. - A key tnAchieves value that defines our programs and innovation. tnAchieves has developed wraparound student supports designed to ensure successful post-secondary enrollment and completion for all students.
-
Rooted in Community
Community partners ensure that the tnAchieves goal of “serving students at scale” is realistic and attainable. Our network of advocates represents business and industry as well as local school systems and post-secondary institutions.
-
Practicing Accountability
The thread binding our community-rooted, holistic student supports is accountability. Through data partnerships across the state, we measure, adjust and rely on the magic that happens when student voice is coupled with data.

Students first, Always.
“Graduating from college not only fulfilled the American dream for my parents but also set the stage for my pursuit of a master’s degree in the coming years. Additionally, it positions me as a role model for first-generation students, showcasing the possibilities that education offers for upward advancement and success.”
OSCAR
Math Teacher | Motlow State Community College & Middle Tennessee State University
“I am now working as registered nurse in a hospital! Graduating from college allowed me achieve my goals and gave me access to my dream career.”

“After graduation, I was able to land my dream job and achieve financial independence at the age of 19! Encouraged by my instructor, I won both 1st and 2nd place in Skills USA Welding competitions. The life I live today would have been just a dream had I not enrolled at TCAT. I am proudly working at UA Union 102 as a traveling welder.”
