A Brief Introduction

The Tennessee Technology Center at Pulaski is one of twenty-six such centers serving the citizens of Tennessee. This statewide system of technical centers was made possible by legislation enacted by the 1963 General Assembly of Tennessee.

In 1969, the Center was completed and accepted by the State. The instructional,maintenance, and clerical staff proceeded to receive equipment and set up the instructional areas preparatory to receive the first students. The first instructional are to be completed was Radio-TV repair which began operation September 15, 1969. Other instructional areas became operational as fast as the staff could complete the installation of equipment.

The first evening school program was inaugurated in the Fall of 1970 with offerings in Machine Shop, Welding, Office Occupations, and Blueprint reading.

This Tech Center serves Tennessee counties of Giles, Lawrence, Lincoln, Marshall, and Maury. Persons residing in the counties and desiring to prepare themselves for employment in trades, technical, and other occupations are withing commuting distance of TTC-PULASKI.

The program will remain flexible in order to meet the changing needs for vocational technical training in the area. The fifteen acre campus offers ample space for future expansion as training needs become apparent.

TTC subscribes to the philosophy that occupational education should be made available to those persons who want, need, and can profit form such education. To provide a basis for meeting this philosophy the primary purpose of the Center is to meet preparatory to entry into business and industry. This includes thos who may be disadvantaged or handicapped. We further recognize that vocational technical education is the kind of training that people need to qualify for more than eighty percent of the available jobs in America. We feel that the purpose and philosophy of all trainging programs should be to dignify and to upgrade the social status of the vocational technical jobs and the people who work in the position.
