ABOUT US

Empowering Change Through Collaboration

The West Tennessee Workforce Collaborative (WTWC) is an initiative formed by the American Pillars Education Foundation (APEF) and local school districts in West TN, including Bartlett, Collierville, and Germantown. Our mission is to strengthen the region's workforce by creating dynamic partnerships between education and local industries, beginning in K-12 education. We aim to equip students with forward-thinking training and education to meet regional workforce demands. Since its inception, WTWC has focused on three key goals: centralizing workforce development resources, hiring career counselors for high schools, and creating a job board tailored to high school students. Recognizing a gap in existing solutions, we envision a unique platform that extends beyond traditional job boards to engage K-12 students and local industries in meaningful ways, with support from various non-profits and community partners.

At WTWC, we are committed to empowering individuals to reach their full potential. Our team works tirelessly to connect resources and facilitate meaningful partnerships. Together, we can empower communities and drive positive change. We look forward to expanding our footprint in the future to support more students and businesses in West TN.
