Tennessee Governor's Investment in Vocational Education (GIVE)
This funding initiative aims to create lasting partnerships among educational institutions, industries, and workforce agencies in Tennessee to address local skills gaps and ensure that training programs align with the needs of employers.
The Governor’s Investment in Vocational Education (GIVE) is designed to foster long-term regional partnerships between Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology (TCATs), community colleges, industry, economic development/workforce agencies, and K-12 to identify and address “skills gaps” in local/regional workforce pools. Through data-driven and collaborative work, Tennessee can ensure that postsecondary education institutions are producing the credentials existing employers need while fostering growth and bringing new industry to the state.
