The Georgia Department ofTechnical andAdult Education does not discriminate on the basis ofsex, race, color, national origin, religion, age, or disability in admissions,
in employment, or in access to its education programs and/or activities.
Our Vision
Our vision is ofa unified system oftechnical education, customized business and industry training and adult education using the best available educational technology and offering easy access to lifelong education
andtrainingforalladult Georgians andcorporate citizens.
This system will bepart ofa seamless educationalprocess
far Georgia in which students can transfer credits efficiently as they advancefrom secondary schools to technical institutes to colleges and universities.
We envision a technical and adult education system that assists in developing a quality workforce,
s thus assuring Georgia economic competitiveness
in the global marketplace. The recognition this system will command
throughout the state will make it thepreferred educational option
far that majority ofadults whose career choices require
occupational qualifications beyond a high school diploma, but do not require afour-year college degree.

Report to the Citizens
Nineteen hundred ninety-four was a year in which breaking new ground involved not only the continuation of the Department's $160 million capital improvement plan, but also the development of innovative instructional programs and acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment at technical institutes throughout the state.
As enrollments continued to set new records, the need for facility expansions became increasingly important. Providing School-to-Work opportunities has become a major federal initiative, requiring a significant shift in the way instruction is delivered. With the HOPE Scholarship Program, Governor Zell Miller has created a nationally acclaimed vehicle for even more Georgians to acquire additional education and training.
Projects for new and expanding industries increased dramatically this year, and Quick Start's continued emphasis on providing services to existing industries benefited employers and employees statewide. Tax breaks offered through the Georgia Business Expansion Act of 1994, the BEST law, will continue to help bring new jobs into the state, requiring additional training and retraining.
During 1994, literacy programs continued to reach adult citizens in need of basic education. The number ofcommunities involved in the Certified Literate Community Program has steadily increased thanks to the involvement of Georgia's First Lady Shirley Miller and the Governor's Council on Adult Literacy. Workplace renewal education programs are on the rise, and the number of GED graduates continues to escalate.
Distance learning capabilities, installed at many technical institutes this year, provided greater choices in educational delivery for instructors, students and business partners. Using this new technology, customers can
benefit from classes offered at locations far from their homes or businesses. During the next year, our entire system will be technically interconnected;
thus, allowing the educational opportunities offered in Georgia to move beyond the limits imposed by traditional schedules and facilities.
A joint meeting of the State Board ofTechnical and Adult Education and the University System's Board of Regents was held this year, and marked the beginning of unprecedented dialogue between the full membership of each board. This historical meeting set the stage for future interaction between the two boards.
Breaking new ground in so many areas this year positioned the Georgia Department ofTechnical and Adult Education to continue building great programs and services for our customers. We look forward to our ongoing role in meeting educational challenges that will ensure economic prosperity for Georgia and for its citizens.
Floor Plans
Administrative Services, Funding and Budgeting
Technological advances are changing the way we work and challenging us to expand our technical abilities. The Office of Administrative Services provides administrative support and computer assistance at the departmental level and for technical institutes. Guidance and support is provided in the areas of budget, accounting, procurement, personnel and computer services.
The first phase of the Fiscal Accounting Control system rewrite was implemented this year. The Budget System component of the new Georgia Integrated Financial System is being utilized by all technical institutes as well as the state office to monitor the status of available resources versus expenditures. The central office budget staff continues to provide support to ensure that budget goals are maintained.
As the State of Georgia moves to implement generally accepted accounting principles, the accounting component of the new financial system will require a more advanced level of accounting knowledge. To this end, the accounting staff has been participating in governmental accounting classes. As this new system is implemented, monitoring of accounting policies and procedures will become more complex.
Every technical institute in Georgia will be connected via the new computer network by the end of the next fiscal year, as the statewide information network continues to grow. The implementation of this network gives all schools access to central databases, alternate routes to the main computer system managed by the state, and access to the Internet.

The Carroll Tech Satellite Campus, based in Douglasville, will
serve studentsfrom Carroll, Coweta, Douglas and Haralson
counties. It will offer state-of-the-art technology to provide
what Governor Zell Miller in the ground breaking ceremony
called 'a one-stop shopping placefar education." The project includes 82,670 squarefeet ofclassrooms, labs, library,
industrial labs, child development center, distance learning and
conference center.
Pieper, O'Brien, Herr - Architects
The 161,432 squarefoot new campus ofMiddle Georgia Technical Institute is infused with the new spirit oftechnical
education. It reflects the aspirations ofthe students who will benefitfrom its presence and incorporates the wisdom ofall who contributed to its development. The courtyard commons is a meetingplacefar all who seek truth, and the tower is a symbol of the empowering searchfar knowledge.
Ray C. Hoover, III, FAIA, Thompson Ventulett & Stainback &Associates - Architects
The new Sandersville Regional Technical Institutefeatures a 69,671 squarefaot technicalfacility constructed within a $5.5 million dollar budget meeting both environmental andfunctional goals established at the beginning ofthe project. In addition to having an image re.fleeting the school's importance to the community, the resultingfacility willfeature natural light throughout to reduce lighting costs, the use ofrenewable resources such as wood ceilings in public spaces and wood windows, and locally available materials such as brick containing kaolin.
Taylor Anderson Architects and Engineers
The 44,329 squarefaot Library Classroom Buildingfar Augusta Technical Institute was designed to re.fleet the style ofthe existing campus andyet be a new campusfacal point. Because information and instructional technology are developing at such a rapid rate, the building had to be designed with maximumflexibility. The intent was to usefurniture and shelving to segment large open spaces into separate service areas rather than to use walls. A multistory building with large open spaces which liberally uses light and space was envisionedfrom the beginning.
Jova Daniels Busby -Architects, Planners, Interior Designers
Construction started on a $5.6 million Economic Development Center and other improvements at West Georgia Technical Institute. The buildings will include a 30,000 square-foot Centerfor Industrial and International Business Development, a 30,000 squarefoot Centerfor Technical Services, and a 6,500 squarefoot Centerfor Child Development. WGT's multimillion-dollar expansion includes $4.3 million in state funds, a $1.3 million grantfrom the Callaway Foundation in addition tofunding.from the West Georgia Tech Foundation, Inc. Governor Miller said at the ground breaking ceremonies, 'That's the kind ofpartnership that builds progress." What is happening at West Georgia Tech is importantfar the region. We're making technical education more accessiblefar the people ofGeorgia.

HOPE
HOPE -- Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally -- is Georgia's unique program that awards high school students' hard work with financial assistance in degree, diploma, and certificate programs at, any Georgia postsecondary institution,
During its first year, 15,992 HOPE scholarships were awarded to students to attend one of the 32 technical institutes across the state. The scholarships were valued at $4,401,566 in educational opportunities.
A onetime 5500 HOPE award was issued to 1,698 GED recipients. The intent of this award is to encourage advanced training and education. This HOPE award may be applied toward tuition, books, and other education-related costs.
HOPE scholarships are funded by the Georgia Lottery for Education. These scholarships are just one component of Governor Zell Miller's many education initiatives for the State of Georgia.

Technical Education Efforts
Organizat ional Development Services The Georgia Department ofTechnical and Adult Education's strategic plan -- Vision 2000 -- was developed, as required by Senate Bill 335, following a two-year situational analysis and strategic planning effort. GDTAE was one of the first agencies to gam State approval of its plan. The first of the annual revision cycles for the plan that structures GDTAE's wallsfor stability is complete.
The Institutional Effectiveness System (I ES) -- a statewide srst~m for technical institute planning and budgeting -- was s1gmficantly revised this year. A new internal analysis instrument focuses on continuous improvement, customer satisfaction and high performance. For the first time, the IES Analysis, Budget and Plan can be submitted by the institutes to the Office of Technical Education electronically by diskette or by modem.
With these improvements, the institutes can request, in detail, new programs needing construction as a part of the IES reporting system; thereby eliminating duplication of reported material. The new system allows for development of the GDTAE Improvement Budget in a more detailed manner; data will be in a singular document.
The Institutional Effectiveness Review (IER) concluded its first full cycle during the year. The IER is an on-site institutional review conducted by a team of institute presidents. The focus of the IER provides for continuous quality improvement of each technical institute in meeting GDTAE's State Standards for curriculum and programs.
Information Technology planning was a priority this year. Throu~h the involvement of the Information Technology Committee of the Technical I nstitutes President's Council in the development of the information technology plan, a new multimedia technology system will emerge.
The Office of Technical Education provides coordination and technical assistance for the mission of the Information Technology Committee:
* to develop a comprehensive concept for
implementation of information technology,
* to focus on networking, data management,
software, distance learning, and instructional technology, and
* to pro:vide effective and efficient high quality
educational services using advanced information sharing technology.
Student Employment/Training Services In January of 1994, all of Georgia's technical institutes began using Assessment of Skills for Successful Educational Transfer
(ASSET), an assessment tool for program placement from American College Testing (ACT). Technical institute staff utilize this information to better understand each student and to provide the support services necessary for the student to succeed.
The Department ofChildren and Youth Services with assistance from the Office ofTechnical Education created programs to assist youth in moving successfully from incarceration in a youth development center (YDC) to becoming independent and positive contributing members of society. GDTAE trained youth development center staff to administer the assessment instruments, provided faculty for literacy training and GED preparation, developed occupational training plans for YDC students, and explored options for allowing eligible students to register for attendance in technical institute courses while completing their sentence at a YDC.
JTPA -- the job Training Partnership Act -- appropriated 57 grants designed to foster collaboration with the U.S. Department of Labor. These grants were available to the technical institutes, private nonprofit and for-profit organizations, additional educational agencies, and to community-based organizations. GDTAE received a grant of$3,336,912 from the FederalJTPA Section 123 funds - State Education and Coordination Grant for the program year July 1, 1993 - June 30, 1994.
TheNeighborhoodJob . Training and Education , Program (NJTEP) proviqes training in the construction trades .' such as masonry, dry wall, and carpentry to residents ofthe communities affected by Olympic venues.
NJTEP i~ a partnership ,. among GDTAE, the
Atlanta Committee for t~e Olympic Ga~~s and the U.S. Department 9f Labor.
The Atlanta Committeefar the Olympic Games (AGOG) worked with the GDTAE's Office of Technical Education to provide training to residents in areas affected by Olympic construction. Coordinated efforts with the technical institutes in Olympic impacted areas, ACOG and a U.S. Department of Labor grant, secured by Congressman John Lewis, led to training curriculum development, instructional space provisions, financial aid resources, and instructional services for 140 neighborhood residents during the year.
Special Services Georgia's New Connections program has been an integral part of technical education for 15 years. The program provides avenues for access to education, training, and job placement for single parents, displaced homemakers, and.single pregnant women. Over 8,768 individuals received services through New Connections during FY 94.
Federally funded, the program now operates in 32 technical institutes and one occupational center. A $200,000 increase in funds through allocation of the Georgia legislature was provided this year. The Office ofTechnical Education continues to coordinate the delivery of this statewide program with the Department of Human Resources, Department of Labor and other agencies.
Information/Resource Development Services Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 compliance surveys were conducted. As a result, implementation training on updated guidelines has been identified as a need for faculty and staff at GDTAE's locations.
GeorgiaTechNet, a statewide project to connect all technical institute library information centers, benefited from a campaign sponsored by The Georgia Fund for Technical and Adult Education, Inc.
Through the TECHNIQUIP Partnership program, Auto Zone, Inc. donated $325,000 of new automotive parts to institutes' automotive technician programs. These parts were distributed across the state via GDTAE's Commercial Truck Driving programs.
The Georgia State Plan for Vocational and Applied Technology Education 1995-96 was submitted to the U.S . Department of Education for approval. The planning process involved needs assessment and coordinated planning with state and local agencies, as well as presentations at public hearings. This plan is the basis for program operations for the next two years under the Carl D. Perk.ins Act.
Installation of an institutional management system, using Banner software, at 25 technical institutes has improved the timeliness and accuracy of student records and facility management data collection. The eight remaining institutions will implement Banner next year. Procedures are being revised to capitalize on this new technology.
Educational Support Services Development of Technical Certificate of Credit programs this year is a response to employer and student needs. These programs prepare students for skilled employment in one to three quarters of instruction, often in curricula designed to meet the requirements of specific employers. The credit earned in most certificate programs can be applied toward diploma or associate degree programs. In FY 1994, 252 Technical Certificate of Credit programs were established in 81 occupational areas.
School-to-Work transition programs include TechPrep and Youth Apprenticeship programs. Thirty-two technical institutes, 13 colleges and 250 high schools in 137 school systems are involved in 122 TechPrep projects. In Georgia, four technical institutes and four school districts are part of two nationally funded demonstration sites for youth apprenticeship pilot projects and another 16 technical institutes are bonding with high school projects funded by the Georgia Department of Education.
Distance Education is becoming a building block of technology services. Video distance education, two-way interactive equipment, and steerable satellite dishes were installed at sixty percent of the institutes. Operating on the Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System (GSAMS), these systems fit smoothly into the Office ofTechnical Education's planned information services network to support distance education, academic technology, administrative functions, and economic development.
This information highway integrates technical institutes, adult literacy centers, and business/industry components in the dissemination of academic and statewide community services to citizens in classrooms and in remote locations.
GDTAE Commissioner Kenneth Breeden is a member ofthe steering committee ofthe Georgia School-to-Work project.
The O ffice offechnical Education staff serve in leadership roles on the School-to-Wo~k working committees.

Adult Literacy Accomplishments
Literacy programs expanded to private and public providers as evidenced by the Section 353 grant recipients: Literacy Action, Inc., Volunteers of America, Inc., Latin American Association, Brooks County Library, Education Is Essential, Dalton City Chamber of Commerce, The Private Industry Council of Atlanta City, and 322 grants to the H ousing Authorities of Albany, Carrollton, Montezuma, and Rome.
Providing every county in Georgia with a full-time literacy instructor continued with the support of Governor Miller and special funding made available by the Georgia General Assembly. The addition of25 literacy instructors this year, makes a total of83 counties with a fulltime literacy resource.
Adult Literacy Learning Centers extended site operating hours and
facilities, accommodating more adults during the day. In FY 94,
literacy services expanded to offer a wider variety of instructional services to meet the educational needs of adults desiring literacy assistance. From nonreaders to educational remediation to GED candidates to adults preparing to meet the requirements for high technology in the workplace and workforce communities, literacy services were added across the state.
Workplace Literacy has emerged as one of the key literacy programs. Workplace Support Center grants were awarded this year to the Middle Georgia Consortium, Heard County Chamber of Commerce, and the Camilla Chamber of Commerce to develop computer technology and job-related adult literacy skill centers for use by small businesses. Over 160 Georgia businesses and organizations participate in workplace literacy programs. The Georgia Tax Credit for Adult Basic Skills Education offered a tax credit incentive to employers to provide or sponsor adult basic skills education for their employees.
Instructional and administrative technology are being installed on an incremental basis. Basic literacy and English as a Second Language (ESL) classes now extended to gateway grants for housing authorities, family, and homeless literacy programs as well as Limited English Proficiency. The development of a statewide technology plan made progress toward increasing productivity in our local provider network.
Statewide Adult Literacy workshops, sponsored by the Office of Adult Literacy, were designed for adult literacy educators in public and private programs in Georgia. Over 1,100 literacy educators participated in the workshops: Teaching Writing to Adults at the Pre-GED and GED Levels, Teaching Adults with Learning Disabilities, and Responding to Cultural Diversity in the ABE/GED Classroom. Participants received a copy of the ADA materials relating to literacy education.
Celebrating the first anniversary of the Georgia Literacy Resource Center (GLRC) fully funded with a grant through the Governor's Office occurred this year. Operation of the GLRC, located in Macon because of its central location, was assigned by Governor Miller to GDTAE's Office of Adult Literacy. The GLRC houses professional materials, provides access to technology for innovative instructional methods, sponsors training for Georgia's adult literacy providers, offers on-site program monitoring and staff training, and serves as a focal point for research, evaluation and analysis of programmatic issues.
Georgia's Certified Literate Community Program (CLCP) continues to build partnerships for literacy in communities throughout the state. During FY 94, 21 communities met the requirements to be certified as participants in the program. Eighty-five additional communities expressed interest in the CLCP. Each participating community represents the cooperative efforts of a city or county to mobilize public and private resources.
Georgia's First Lady Shirley Miller has played a leading role in making communities aware of this nationwide model for cooperation between the public and private sectors. The Georgia Council on Adult Literacy (GCAL), appointed by the Governor, assists the State Board ofTechnical and Adult Education in the oversight of literacy programs. The GCAL is an integral part of the Certified Literate Community Program.

Economic Development Progress
GDTAE's Office of Economic Development Programs is pleased to report a record-breaking year for the number of companies served, trainees, new jobs, customer satisfaction, and profits for the State of Georgia in FY 1994. Training continues to be among the prime factors influencing site selection for new companies and maintaining the competitiveness and profitability of Georgia's existing industries.
The Office ofEconomic Development Programs expanded its capabilities in the area of assessments for training. A variety of analysis tools are now provided for companies to determine specific training needs, including automated assessments. Job/task analysis, office automation and software, organizational assessments, maintenance skills, programmable logic controllers, job profiling, and customer service may be included in assessments.
During Fiscal Year 1994, the economic development training programs at
* the technical institutes managed 166 Qtick Start projects and services, a 28.6% increase over FY 93, * provided training services for 819 of the state's existing industries, * offered over 2,000 courses in computer skills, safety, employee involvement, health and environmental issues to existing * industries, and trained 37,474 employees of Georgia's workforce
Newjobs totaling 8,963 positions were created by new and expanding Georgia companies served by Qtick Start in FY 1994, an increase of37% over FY 1993.
Q uick Start training in more than one course area to a single person increased 25% this year from 13,883 to 17,341. Employees involved in only one training activity during the fiscal year also increased by 67%, from 6,682 to 11,129.
Costs-per-trainee continues to decrease. Fiscal Year 1994 marks the fifth consecutive year that per-trainee costs have decreased. From 1990 to 1994, trainee costs fell from $639 to $405, a decrease of almost 58%. For the same time period, the number of trainees increased by 83% from 9,455 to 17,341.

BENCH.base, developed by Economic Development Programs, is an on-line database designed for organizations to obtain customized information about quality programs and the benchmark process. Ths on-line database is a response to the progressive companies that measure and improve their productivity and quality through
benchmarks. The American Productivity & Qiality Center recognized
BENCH.base with a national award for excellence. Other companies receiving recognition included Texas Instruments, Eastman Kodak, Pacific Bell and General Motors Corporation.
A formal assessment process was designed to evaluate every component of the management of training services offered through Economic Development Programs. At the end of the fiscal year, 57 companies that completed the training programs rated Q1ick Start an overall 4.1 out of 5. Continuous improvements in programs and delivery of services will be made as a result of these assessments.
The return-on-investment analysis for FY 1994 illustrated the cost effectiveness and the significant profits that accrue to the state and the taxpayers as a result of Economic Development Programs' services. The return is $4.53 for each dollar invested in Quick Start from direct new jobs created by companies served during the fiscal year.
Assuming the stability ofjobs and companies, after five years the projected profit to Georgia is over $27 million in state sales and personal income tax. The combined return is $18.63 for each dollar invested if indirect jobs created as a result of the direct jobs are considered. Over a five year period, the projected profit soars to over $112 million.
