Tennessee Leadership Training Institute

 

The Tennessee Leadership Training Institute (TLTI) provides training to student leaders with a focus on further developing their leadership skills. Student leaders will network with others from across the state, discuss the student experience, and learn from one another.

Statesperson Award – Attendees will have the opportunity to earn the Statesperson Award during TLTI. This award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated their leadership skills and mastered additional requirements in leadership training. Additional information and supplemental assignments will be made available upon event registration. This award will be presented to students and advisors at the conclusion of TLTI.

Market Yourself for Career Success – Consider joining us for our pre-institute workshop. Attendees will learn how to strengthen their resume, highlight their strengths, and ace an interview. There is no additional cost to attend the workshop.
