Tennessee Trade & Vocational Schools
Trade schools are seeing some growth in recent years, but it is still not enough to cover the deficit in workers. From 2021 to 2022, National Student Clearinghouse found that construction trade programs saw an increased enrollment of 19.3%. Culinary programs showed 12.7 percent increase.
Meanwhile both 2-year and 4-year colleges saw a decrease in enrollment.
This is because the trades can offer a great start to a solid career – without all the extra education and cost. Trade programs offers hands-on training with a bit of classroom education to get you to work as quickly as possible.
