In 2006 American Uniform closed and moved offshore leaving a structurally strong, well-built shelled facility.\u00a0 Bradley County Schools along with the county commission and regional partners are now in process of retrofitting this site to continue to serve our community with economic and workforce development for future generations.<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\tLOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

The PIE Innovation Center is a planned workforce development center that will allow juniors and seniors enrolled in Bradley County schools as well as Polk County Schools (with plans of expansion to Meigs, McMinn, and North Hamilton County Schools) to receive training in a variety of career fields. The center will collaborate with local business, industry, and community partners to provide learning opportunities for both college and career-bound students through a combination of STEM\u00a0 classroom instruction, skill development, and on-the-job training.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"\"\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
