Future STEM innovators are taking flight right here in our community!

Local Girl Scouts jumped into hands-on programming with Bee Bots, building confidence and discovering how fun problem-solving can be. Experiences like this spark curiosity and start a path that can lead to the hands-on learning happening every day at Vol State.

These students are already taking their first steps toward futures in technology, engineering, mechatronics, and more.

Share this post and help us cheer on these future leaders as they explore what’s possible!

[TN2030 @TN2030goals]

Tennessee’s future depends on the pathways we build today.

The 2026 Future Forward Summit highlighted a critical challenge: while most students say career planning matters, many still face disconnected systems and unclear paths from education to career.

To change that, we must strengthen connections across K-12, higher education, employers, and workforce systems — ensuring every Tennessee student can access a high-quality pathway to economic mobility.

Through #TN2030, Tennessee is working toward ambitious goals to increase postsecondary enrollment and completion while expanding access to high-value credentials aligned to workforce needs.

We’re so excited to launch our newest cohort of healthcare students, pinned this spring in Medical Laboratory Technology, Physical Therapist Assistant, Radiologic Technology, and Nursing. This moment isn’t just a ceremony—it’s the start of their journey to show up for our communities with real skill, compassion, and purpose.

These students have already shown resilience and heart, and their pins reflect the impact they’re ready to make. As they step into the field, they’re helping strengthen the health and well‑being of Middle Tennessee and the Upper Cumberland.

We’re incredibly proud of how Vol State students are stepping up to meet healthcare needs and care for the people who make our region what it is. The future of healthcare is in good hands. 🤲 🩺
