About this Event

Join the Chamber for an engaging discussion on how Registered Apprenticeship programs are fueling economic growth and building a highly skilled workforce in our region. This event brings together leaders from CGI, the U.S. Department of Labor, and local experts from UT Medical Center, Pellissippi State Community College, and Messer Construction to highlight the successes and impact of apprenticeships across industries.

Attendees will learn how these programs:

  • Equip workers with in-demand skills for high-growth industries
  • Create clear career pathways for job seekers
  • Strengthen the regional economy by meeting workforce needs

The Chamber will also share how expanding apprenticeship opportunities directly supports our 2030 Protocol, a long-term strategy to drive economic growth and increase prosperity across the region.

Whether you’re an employer, educator, policymaker, or career seeker, this session will provide insights and practical examples of how apprenticeships can transform our workforce and community.


Breakfast will be served.

*We validate parking in Market Square Garage.
