A regional effort to make technology more accessible has reached a notable milestone.

Tech Goes Home Tennessee, a program of Chattanooga’s Enterprise Center, reports serving more than 25,000 learners since launching in 2015.

Its participants live across parts of Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, reflecting a mission that extends beyond Chattanooga city limits.

The program works with schools, community organizations, nonprofits, and neighborhood partners to offer practical computer and internet skills.

Participants may receive help learning to use devices, locating affordable connectivity, or building confidence with everyday online tasks.

For some residents, those skills support job applications, new employment opportunities, or career advancement.

For others, learning to use technology makes it easier to access services, manage daily tasks, and stay connected with family.

The Enterprise Center has increasingly emphasized workforce preparation alongside basic digital literacy.

The milestone reflects years of work by instructors and local partners who bring classes into familiar, accessible community settings.

Digital access remains a practical issue for people who have never had reliable devices, broadband service, or guided training.

Programs that teach foundational skills can help reduce that gap in ways that matter to individual households.

The organization says it intends to keep building partnerships and reaching residents with different levels of experience.

Behind the 25,000-person total are thousands of personal steps toward greater independence and opportunity.
