The University of Tennessee Center for Industrial Services (UT CIS) recently graduated class 16 of its Tennessee Certified Economic Developer (TCED) Program. This cohort brings the total number of Tennessee-certified economic developers to 92.
Among the graduates was Carter County Commissioner Aaron Frazier, whose Capstone title was Education and Rehabilitation in ALICE communities for Workforce Development.
Graduation was held at the IPS Polk Avenue Training Suite in Nashville. During the session, the graduates presented their Capstone projects, the final requirement for certification. TCED candidates completed a week-long Basic Economic Development Course in addition to a series of six core courses pertinent to economic and community development. The TCED Program gives participants a broad-based knowledge of economic trends, tools and core components required to compete in today’s global economy
“All of our Tennessee-certified economic developers made a serious commitment to achieve this designation,” said Kim Denton, director of the TCED Program. “They now will be able to use this in-depth knowledge to benefit their communities and regions.”
New graduates will be invited to join the TCED Alumni Group, which provides continuing education and networking opportunities several times throughout the year.
