Chattanooga State, TCAT Chattanooga, Cleveland State, and TCAT Athens have partnered with the local American Job Center (AJC) to present a series of no-cost virtual information sessions beginning June 25. These sessions will address four specific industry sectors:

Social and Behavioral Sciences (Thursday, July 9 at 2 p.m. ET)

Each one and-a-half-hour session begins with an overview of American Job Center services, and then moves to separate presentations by each of the four educational institutions, closing with a question and answer period for participants.
The information sessions are intended for individuals interested in learning more about in-demand career and training opportunities and the various forms of financial assistance available to them. Additionally, representatives will be on hand from each organization after each presentation to answer specific questions from those in attendance. General information regarding AJC services will be provided in addition to the industry specific programs and trainings for each scheduled sector.
