Grant Overview
Tennessee’s healthcare workforce pipeline shows persistent gaps between the number of certified nursing assistants needed in rural hospitals and the number of students completing related high-school coursework. State labor data indicate a projected shortfall of 4,200 entry-level health technicians by 2028, concentrated in the Cumberland Plateau and West Tennessee districts.
Operations constraints include limited laboratory space in districts where science classrooms double as general education rooms and lack fume hoods or autoclaves required for basic microbiology modules. Teachers hold multiple certifications and average 2.3 class preparations daily, reducing time available for curriculum development in health-focused STEM.
Projects must map proposed health-education modules to specific regional employer needs listed in the Tennessee Department of Labor’s annual occupational outlook. Applications include memoranda from local hospitals confirming willingness to host student observations under existing liability frameworks. Funding supports modular equipment kits that rotate among schools rather than permanent installations, reflecting the state’s pattern of small district budgets and shared-service cooperatives.
