Career Awareness & Exploration

TAN is thrilled to announce that you will have the opportunity to use new STEM and career resources Learning Blade® and TN-CAPS that will be provided to you at no cost thanks to our partner, the Tennessee Chamber. This offering supports several of TAN’s initiatives and partnerships: STEM Next on the Million Girls Moonshot; National Youth Leadership Council on growing the impact of service-learning; and United Ways of Tennessee on supporting working families and building the workforce of the future. 
Over the next 12 months, TAN will be offering training to not only prepare you to access these resources, but will also ensure you can use them strategically to help students master state educational standards, develop an engineering mindset, and even embrace a strong sense of civic responsibility.
