About us
The Tennessee Job Training & Safety Training program
The Tennessee Job Training & Safety Training program is a joint venture between the Tennessee College of Applied Technology in Murfreesboro (TCATM), Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association (TECA), and the Tennessee Municipal Electric Power Association (TMEPA). The program provides job training and safety training and support in health and safety issues for both municipal and cooperative utilities throughout the state of Tennessee.
Our primary service is the monthly safety meetings conducted by our five instructors at each of the utilities in their area. These meetings cover topics listed in the annual program schedule, as set by the coordinator per recommendation and approval of the advisory committee.
