Grant Overview

Tennessee’s workforce capacity constraints for dislocated workers center on the mismatch between legacy automotive and call-center skills and current openings in logistics, medical device manufacturing, and cybersecurity. The state’s unemployment insurance data indicate that 42 percent of workers separated from employers with over 500 employees since 2020 reside in counties without a public training provider offering the required credential within a 45-minute drive.

Infrastructure constraints include limited broadband in the Cumberland Plateau counties that prevents reliable access to online components of hybrid training programs. Transportation gaps along secondary roads in the Appalachian region further restrict attendance at the state’s American Job Centers located primarily along the I-40 and I-65 corridors.

Readiness requirements mandate that applicants submit a letter from a Tennessee employer or industry association confirming at least 15 current vacancies that align with the proposed training curriculum. Programs must use credentials listed on the state’s Eligible Training Provider List and report completion and placement rates through the Tennessee Longitudinal Data System.

Research teams may receive support for analysis of administrative wage records to identify which occupations show the fastest absorption of dislocated workers. Media organizations qualify for production of short employer testimonial videos that can be hosted on the Tennessee Department of Labor website. Nonprofit groups must document coordination with at least one local workforce development board.

Budgets may allocate up to 25 percent for participant supportive services such as childcare vouchers or fuel cards, with the remainder restricted to tuition, certification fees, and instructor salaries. Tennessee funding requires explicit mapping of training sites against the state’s current eligible training provider performance dashboard rather than national placement averages.
