Special Industry Training

Special industry training, as offered by the Tennessee College of Applied Technology – Paris, is training in specific subjects needed by a particular company or organization. The word “industry” means a field of business or activity, not necessarily manufacturing.

The content of the course may be a standard topic, or one tailored uniquely to meet the needs of that particular group (the customer). The College arranges the curriculum with input of the customer’s needs. In that sense, it is a customized course, including the hours, dates, length and location. If it better suits the customer’s needs, it can be presented in the customer’s facilities.

Special Industry Training is offered at a very reasonable rate which is determined depending on the customer’s needs.
