The Tennessee Board of Regent’s IDEAL Workforce Model The Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) delivers comprehensive, state-of-the-art training services for new and existing business and industry workforce partners to increase the number of workforce training hours produced by TBR, its institutions, and the number of companies served. This comprehensive approach ensures that TBR colleges are uniquely positioned to rapidly respond to the workforce needs of existing and emerging industries across the state. TBR has created the IDEAL Workforce Model, Industry-Driven Education Aligned Learning, to scale regional or statewide training programs for industry partners that are referred to TBR by entities such as the Governor’s Office, the Legislature, state agencies like Economic and Community Development or Department of Labor and Workforce Development, and the Chancellor’s Office. This work is supported by collaborative efforts across TBR’s External Affairs’ Center for Workforce Development, the Office of Academic Affairs, and the Center for Apprenticeships divisions.
