Grundy County Center of Excellence: A Bold Partnership for the Future Workforce

Grundy County Schools is proud to be home to the Grundy County Center of Excellence (COE)—a dynamic, hands-on learning hub designed to prepare high school students for success in today’s high-demand career fields. Through a strategic and forward-thinking partnership with Nissan North America, the Center of Excellence provides students with access to real-world training, industry-recognized certifications, and direct instruction from Nissan subject matter experts shaping the future of American manufacturing and innovation.

At the heart of this initiative is a shared commitment: to equip students with the skills, confidence, and credentials needed to thrive in technical careers right out of high school—or continue their journey through college or trade programs. Whether it's through advanced manufacturing, mechatronics, automotive technology, or other career and technical education (CTE) pathways, students are learning by doing—right here in Grundy County.

Nissan’s investment goes beyond equipment and curriculum. The partnership includes career exposure opportunities, workplace tours, guest speakers, and a growing network of local and regional industry advisors who help ensure students are gaining the competencies that matter most in the 21st-century workforce.

This collaboration is not just building futures—it’s transforming lives and communities. By keeping talent rooted in Tennessee and creating clear pathways from classroom to career, the Grundy County COE stands as a model for how education and industry can work together to create meaningful impact
