Welcome to TTC Knoxville

It is the philosophy of the Tennessee Technology Center at Knoxville that each citizen should have the privilege and opportunity to reach his or her maximum potential. Individualized instruction provides each student with the highest quality training possible in the occupational area of his or her choice. The school adheres to the philosophy that the development of specific skills and knowledge in an individual is not sufficient; desirable worker characteristics are emphasized to instill the character development, good work habits, reliability, honesty, and respect for authority that are necessary for a productive society. The Tennessee Technology Center at Knoxville fulfills this purpose by providing instructional programs to train or retrain persons for employment. Programs are designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of workers who are presently employed.

Physical Facilities

The Tennessee Technology Center at Knoxville is located in the center of Knox County, easily accessible from I-75, I-40, and I-640. The campus consists of two buildings on the east side of Liberty Street and one building on the west side. All classrooms and lab facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art technology that is up-dated regularly to meet the rapidly changing needs of business and industry.

History

The Tennessee Technology Center at Knoxville was founded in 1966 by the State Board of Education. The Knoxville school was operated by the Knoxville City School System under contract with the Tennessee Board of Education from 1966 - 1984, when the operation was assumed by the Tennessee Board of Regents. During the forty-five year history of the school, the Tennessee Technology Center at Knoxville has served thousands of area citizens by providing job training and placement.
