Tennessee College of Applied Technology Morristown or TCAT Morristown, is a public technical college in the Tennessee Board of Regents' Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology (TCAT) system located in Morristown, Tennessee, United States.
The college serves nine East Tennessee counties: Claiborne, Cocke, Grainger, Greene, Hamblen, Hancock, Hawkins, Jefferson, and Sevier.
With the need of a update because of the rising manufacturing market in Morristown,[1] in late 2019, the college announced a $14 million expansion with the construction of a 45342square feet advanced manufacturing and mechatronics training facility on the former site of the City of Morristown Public Works Department headquarters, which had relocated to a new facility in West Morristown.[2] [3]
In July 2020, United States Secretary of Labor, Eugene Scalia, visited the college to meet with state and local leaders to highlight economic recovery in manufacturing during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
