Job Training

Studying the issue of job training for women became a centerpoint of the Council early in its existence, and the Job Training Task Force was dedicated to examining the state of job training for women in Tennessee as directed by the founding legislation of the Council. The following 2005 report looks at career centers across Tennessee and the approach toward education and training for low-income women, as well as highlighting the opportunities which exist in non-traditional jobs. A directory of job training programs in the South is provided, complemented by a listing of non-traditional job training programs for women throughout the country.
