Grant Overview

Tennessee targets measurable increases in student-led business proposals that incorporate international supply-chain or regulatory analysis, with a goal of 180 completed pitches reviewed by external judges by year three. State labor data indicate that 22 percent of projected job growth through 2030 will occur in logistics, automotive assembly, and professional services, sectors with documented demand for employees who understand foreign-market entry requirements.

These workforce outcomes matter because Tennessee's three major auto plants and the Memphis FedEx hub together account for 147,000 direct jobs, yet employer surveys report that only 31 percent of recent high-school graduates can explain tariff structures or basic comparative advantage. The geographic distribution of these employerseast Tennessee manufacturing corridors versus middle Tennessee distribution centerscreates uneven exposure to global business concepts across districts.

Implementation centers on regional hubs anchored at community colleges in Knoxville, Nashville, and Jackson, each equipped with video-conference links to counterpart programs in Mexico and Vietnam. High-school participants will receive 60 hours of instruction that includes case reviews of Tennessee-headquartered firms expanding abroad. Success metrics require each cohort to produce at least one export-oriented business plan scored above 75 percent on a standardized rubric developed with the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce.

Tennessee differs from neighboring states because its right-to-work status and specific concentration of foreign-owned manufacturing plants generate distinct requirements for mentor matching that Kentucky and Arkansas programs do not replicate.
