LIFE-STEP™ Professional – Healthcare Workforce Readiness is a 15-hour, non-clinical course for adults preparing for healthcare and home healthcare training or employment. Build the professional and digital skills employers value, at no cost to eligible participants.
Tech 4 All Tennessee has been awarded funding through the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development's Rural Works Healthcare Initiatives program to expand healthcare workforce-readiness training across 11 East Tennessee counties.
The initiative is expected to serve approximately 240 participants in Anderson, Blount, Campbell, Cocke, Cumberland, Loudon, Monroe, Morgan, Roane, Sevier, and Union counties between July 2026 and June 2027.
