We’ve put together a series of resources for professionals moving to middle Tennessee to pursue their careers.
Where to live
There are plenty of platforms to help people find a home to buy or rent, but finding a neighborhood, suburb or outlying city that matches your lifestyle can be a huge factor in determining your happiness in a new place.
See a thorough breakdown of Nashville neighborhoods and suburbs here.
Another consideration for choosing where to live when you’re moving to the region is finding a school that meets your family’s needs. Supporting a thriving public education system is a top priority for the Nashville Area Chamber.
Every year, we release an Education Report Card that takes an in-depth look at the performance of Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) which can be found here. In addition, MNPS has a Quick Start Guide for parents looking to learn more about their school choices. You can also see a full Nashville-region school list here.
Where to work
The best place to start is the Nashville Chamber’s Employment Resource Guide. It breaks down the top questions professionals ask themselves when moving to our region without a job already lined up.
Another great resource is the Nashville Chamber Job Board. It features job opportunities at Chamber member businesses, broken down by industry, so you can easily find the opportunities that match your skills. You can also see a list of the major employers in Nashville here.
