NASHVILLE - Thanks to a program announced today by the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Tennessee employers can now make it easier for workers to pursue their education.

Data shows that over three hundred thousand Tennesseans are currently employed in the workforce and did not complete their high school education.
