In order to stay competitive in the global economy, Tennessee employers need workers who can read, write, compute, solve problems, and communicate effectively.
The Literacy Council is striving to do its part to lessen the educational gap. We know increased education leads to increased income. Our instructors are here to educate students and to empower them to be positive citizens.
We are working hard t meet the needs of each community. Our goal is to create partnerships with business and industry to assist adults to become literate and obtain the knowledge and skills necessary for employment and self-sufficiency.
By helping individuals reach their goals, we can touch the community around them. In turn, we can touch our county, our state, our country, and ultimately the world around us.
