About TennesseeWorks

This TennesseeWorks Partnership is comprised of 29 state agencies and organizations working in tandem to accomplish the goals of: (1) further developing our Partnership as a compelling, sustainable collaborative; (2) raising the aspirations and capacities of young people, their families, educators, service systems, and employers to pursue integrated, competitive work as a realistic and first choice; (3) equipping families and educators across the entire state with accessible and relevant resources, training, and supports to enable them to successfully connect youth with disabilities to early work experiences; (4) developing a shared, cross-agency data system to enable data-driven decision making; (5) and stimulating systems and policy change statewide. One innovative aspect of this project will be our implementation of a multi-tiered approach to employment/transition training and resource dissemination statewide. PI: Erik Carter. Co-PI: Elise McMillan.
