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.

 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.
