Education & Workforce Development

The role of your Kingsport Chamber’s Education & Workforce Development program is to serve as a vehicle for business, community and education representatives to work together creating meaningful and substantial impact on education in our area.  Your Kingsport Chamber’s Education & Workforce Development program creates opportunities that enhance academic learning and career preparedness for local students.  Our goal is to develop programs that prepare citizens with the skills needed to be the qualified workforce employers are seeking and to support programs that remove obstacles to higher education.   Programs include TN/VA Scholars, tnAchieves Mentoring Program, Advanced Manufacturing Camp and serving as a liaison for the Kingsport Academic Village and the Regional Center for Advanced Manufacturing.  These programs create partnerships between business and education and serve as a springboard for a coalition to pursue improvements in our region.
