Happy #LaborDay to the skilled trades professionals who build Tennessee from the ground up. You’re the ones who keep Tennessee's economy running strong and we are grateful.

Economic development and workforce development go hand in hand, and this is especially important in our rural communities. We’re investing in sites and infrastructure to prepare communities for growth—and through TNWorks, we’re working alongside partners @Jobs4_TN and @TNHigherEd to make sure workforce and education are part of that equation, too. Great to share more about how the state is connecting these pieces at the @NatlGovsAssoc Workforce Development Policy Institute this morning.

SHAWN RYAN: “Jensen Huang keeps saying the tradesmen is going to be the next millionaire class … Do you think there's truth to that?” MIKE ROWE: “I know there's truth to it … I have a thousand success stories to back it up.” 🔥

Happy 230 years of statehood, Tennessee ✨

This National Lineman Appreciation Day we're celebrating the hard work and skill of the men and women who keep TN shining bright!💪🔌

One of my neighbors kid went to trade school for HVAC at 18. His parents were embarrassed because everyone around us, college is the only option promoted. He spent $6k and started at $65k while his friends were still in school. At 25 he got his contractor license. At 27 he opened his own shop. Last year his company did $2.1 million in revenue with 3 trucks. His friends just started to pay off their student loans. Now, my neighbors cant stop bragging about their son who also is our neighborhood HVAC tech. Day 96 tagging @mikeroweworks to let everyone know that we need more kids like this.
