Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development

The Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development operates Career Centers across the state. The Tennessee Career Center System was designed with valuable input from businesses and private industry statewide. The result is a system able to provide maximum workforce results from one convenient location.

Tennessee Career Centers are where people and jobs connect. Tennessee has a network of centers across the state where employers can go to find the workers they need and job seekers can get assistance and career information. Each center offers computerized labor market information, internet access, workshops, and an online talent bank, in addition to job placement, recruitment, and training referrals.
 
Under the direction of the federal Workforce Investment Act, the Governor designates local workforce investment areas. Based on population, Local Workforce Investment Area 9 consists of Davidson, Rutherford, Trousdale and Wilson counties.
