Nashville State Community College — East Davidson Campus

East Davidson is the Nashville State location for workforce training and job-search support, at 2845 Elm Hill Pike in the Donelson area of east Nashville. Rather than functioning like a broad academic campus, the center brings together the college’s Center for Workforce Development and Continuing Education, Davidson County’s American Job Center, the Northern Middle Tennessee Workforce Board and the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development. That partnership gives residents one place to ask about skills training, career services and employment resources.

The college’s continuing-education center offers individual and employer training in areas including business management, healthcare, language, information technology and Microsoft Office. Professional courses can be tailored for employers; technical offerings listed by the college include shop math, blueprint reading, electrical and electronics skills, pneumatics and hydraulics, programmable logic controllers, AutoCAD and welding. The catalog changes with workforce demand, so a topic on the website is not necessarily an open class today. Ask for the next session, cost, schedule and any prerequisites before making a plan.

The American Job Center partnership adds job-search and career support to the training offer. Official materials describe educational support, skill certifications and assistance with finding work, while the state workforce system can connect eligible visitors to services such as career planning or training referrals. Start by contacting the East Davidson office or the Center for Workforce Development; for a specific job-seeker service, verify eligibility and intake steps with the American Job Center before visiting. This distinction matters: some services are college continuing education, while others are delivered by workforce partners at the same address.

The campus page lists weekday visiting hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the email EastDavidsonCampus@nscc.edu and phone 615-986-7444. An official site map shows front and rear parking areas; campus parking rules apply, and visitors needing to park for more than one day are asked to obtain a temporary permit. East Davidson is in Davidson County but separate from the central White Bridge campus; the directions link targets its Elm Hill Pike address. Call ahead with the name of the service or class so staff can direct you to the right partner or office.
