On the right side, large bold text reads “EMPLOY ABILITY.” Below, smaller text states “Employment and Volunteer Opportunities” next to a gray vertical bar with a red circle accent. At the bottom, a gray banner displays “TNPathfinder.org.” The Tennessee Disability Pathfinder logo with a compass icon appears in the lower-left corner.

Education is about more than what happens in the classroom. It is also about building the knowledge, confidence, and real-life skills that help people with disabilities pursue meaningful goals and make informed choices about their future.

Across Tennessee, students and adults with disabilities are continuing their education, exploring careers, developing new skills, volunteering, advocating, and preparing for greater independence. Each experience can create another opportunity to learn, grow, connect, and move closer to the future they envision.

Ready to explore what’s next? We’re sharing job, volunteer, training, and educational opportunities from across Tennessee, along with helpful resources that can support your goals. Whether you are building experience, preparing for employment, strengthening your skills, or considering a new path, there are opportunities to keep learning and moving forward.
