Building Tennessee’s future workforce starts now. 🚀

This fall, Be Pro Be Proud Tennessee is hitting the road and visiting communities across the state to connect students with the careers shaping Tennessee’s future.

🚛🔧⚙️ What careers are Tennessee students most interested in?

At Be Pro Be Proud Tennessee, we're helping students explore the many high-demand career opportunities available right here in our state. Based on student survey data gathered during our visits across Tennessee, these are the Top 5 Skilled Technical Career Interests among middle and high school students:

🥇 Automotive Technician
🥈 Automation & Robotics
🥉 Welder
4️⃣ Commercial Truck Driver
5️⃣ Computer Programmer

These results highlight the growing interest students have in hands-on, technology-driven careers that keep Tennessee moving, building, and innovating.

We're excited to continue connecting students with industry partners, career exploration opportunities, and pathways that lead to rewarding careers without a one-size-fits-all approach.

Together, we're building the future workforce of Tennessee, one student at a time.
