Here in Chattanooga, Skill Up is a series of courses to help workers upgrade their skills for better jobs while still getting paid to go to school.
It’s a partnership between Chattanooga State, the Benwood Foundation, the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce and local employers.
Last month, the Regions Foundation - the philanthropic organization of Regions Bank - donated 90,000 dollars to support three new groups of 15 students in the Skill Up courses.
Michael Mathis is market executive at Regions Bank.
