Students may enroll in the Technology Foundations program for personal educational development or in preparation for taking the General Education Development (GED) test.
Tennessee Technology Center graduates are required to be proficient in reading, writing and mathematics to enable them to be gainfully employed. The Technology Foundations program consists of a number of instructional activities in the fundamental skills needed to be a productive member of society.
All full-time students attending the Tennessee Technology Center at Elizabethton will receive a personal assessment of their individual reading, writing, mathematics and study skills. If improvement is needed, students will be required to attend the Technology Foundations program as part of their regular instructional day. Students may remain in this program until the desired basic skill level is attained.
No student will be awarded a certificate or diploma by the Tennessee Technology Center without first having passed the Technology Foundations program, a requirement of the Tennessee Board of Regents.
