Gwinnett Technical College Strategic Plan 2012‐2015
Teach every adult; serve every business.
Gwinnett Technical College embarked on a campus‐wide strategic planning endeavor in January of
2011. A strategic planning committee, comprised of representatives from all constituencies affected
by the college, came together to evaluate the vision, mission, values, and strategic direction of the
college. With the help of an outside facilitator, committee members spent an entire day
brainstorming and discussing the past, present, and future of Gwinnett Technical College including a
force field analysis, a three year picture of success, and major areas of the college that needed
attention over the next three years. Data on the trends as well as realities were provided.
Subcommittees were formed and subsequent meetings took place to clarify strategic goals for each
area, as well as initiatives to consider for annual goal setting. These ideas were submitted to the
executive leadership of the college for consideration.
Strategic Impact Teams were developed to align with the college’s strategic goals to carry forward
the momentum of the strategic planning committee. In June of 2011, the final vision, mission,
values, and strategic goals were approved by the college and set to move forward for annual goal
setting, division objectives, and director/committee supporting projects.
The following pages outline the documentation, findings, and decisions. For more information,

Technical Education in Georgia:
Today’s Realities
1. State funding of higher education will continue to decrease.
2. Lottery funds for HOPE scholarship and HOPE grant will continue to be trimmed year after year.
3. More of the costs for technical education will have to be
passed on to the student.
4. New Immigration laws will be passed by the General Assembly every year.
5. Technical colleges will continue to morph into what looks like community colleges in other states.
6. Career Academy/Dual Enrollment programs are more politically correct than ever.
7. The General Assembly is changing its mind about promoting one rigorous high school curriculum for Georgia.
8. There will be alarmingly less financial support for remedial studies in higher education.
9. Beginning in 2012 the Regents 4‐year colleges will not offer learning support classes.
10. Partnerships with the private sector will be even more vital.
