2009/2010 Fact Sheet
The Technical College System of Georgia
26 Technical Colleges
The 26 colleges of the Technical College System of Georgia are uniquely situated to offer Georgians the kind of postsecondary education that's focused on the hiring expectations of employers who will remain successful and even thrive in the 21st Century marketplace.
In 2010, more than 191,000 TCSG students will take advantage of the affordable technical college programs to improve their career opportunities and earning potential through 600plus certificate, diploma, and associate degree programs.
And more than 76,000 TCSG students will save gas and time this year by taking at least one online course through the TCSG's Georgia Virtual Technical College.
Overall enrollment at the TCSG colleges has broken records across all student age groups in each of the last three years. There's been a steady rise in the number of TCSG students under 25 years of age, including a 16 percent increase in 2010. Last year, a report from the Georgia Governor's Office of Student Achievement noted that a TCSG college was the first choice for high school graduates in 62 Georgia school districts and a top ten choice for graduates in 165 districts.
"There's an important transformation going on now where more and more Georgians are seeing a technical college as their first choice for the kind of education that leads to great jobs and steady careers," said TCSG Commissioner Ron Jackson. "They see that the highly competitive 21st Century job market rewards individuals that are highly skilled, and that has reinforced the importance of the knowledge gained in a technical college education."
Jackson added, "If today's college graduates are to find success and profit in tomorrow's workforce, then they must have the knowledge, training and critical thinking abilities that will set them apart from thousands of others will be vying for the same job. The 26 TCSG colleges work hard to instill those workforce-ready talents in our students."
TCSG colleges specialize in developing students for careers that are expected to have strong growth in the coming years, including healthcare, energy and the environment, logistics and transportation, information technology and life sciences. Traditional technical college program areas like electronics, HVAC, automotive technology and welding remain strong as well, except students need to be ready for the requirements of even higher technical knowledge in those fields.

High technology, specialized training and competitive hiring by employers means that the days of technical colleges as "your daddy's old trade school" are long gone. Instead, TCSG students are attracted to the advantages of small class sizes and highly personalized instruction with hands-on learning.
Another benefit of the TCSG colleges is the flexible course scheduling that accommodates almost every student's need. System-wide, about half of the TCSG students attend college full-time and half attend part-time.
Equally important is the very low cost of tuition at a TCSG college, which averages about $2700 a year for a full, 15-credit hour course load. TCSG students find the cost is made even more affordable by easy access to the Georgia HOPE grant and federal Pell grant. In fact, almost 85% of TCSG students use financial aid to pay for their tuition and fees, mostly in the form of the HOPE and Pell grants. Better still, the grants do not require repayment and leave students free to graduate without the burden of debt from a student loan.
Depending on the program and the award level, TCSG students can graduate in as soon as a few months for a certificate of credit, longer for a diploma, or take up two years for an associate degree. Job match data with the Department of Labor and the colleges' selfreporting show that nine in ten TCSG graduates from last year are either currently working or have chosen to continue their education.
High School Dual Credit Programs
Georgia's high school students don't have to wait until after their graduation to enroll at a TCSG college. The TCSG's dual credit programs provide exceptional opportunities for Georgia high school juniors and seniors to take college level courses at TCSG colleges and earn credit toward a high school diploma and a college degree at the same time.
TCSG dual credit courses will jump start a college education and open pathways to exciting careers at virtually no expense to students or their parents. In most cases, state funds will pay for the cost of the college tuition.
Depending on the program, students can choose to enroll in one TCSG course or become a full-time TCSG student. Either way, the credits earned will count to a TCSG education as well as transfer to many colleges and universities throughout Georgia and the nation.

2009/2010 Fact Sheet
Fast Facts about the Technical College System of Georgia
Record-setting enrollment at TCSG colleges
TCSG is smashing enrollment records: enrollment at TCSG colleges surged to 190,842 students in FY2010. The system added more than 34,000 students than in FY2009, which was a 22% enrollment increase in just one year. The record increase was fueled in part by the downturn in the economy and large numbers of unemployed and underemployed men and women looking to train for new, in-demand careers.
Thousands more students = almost one million more credit hours: TCSG students received 4.4 million credit hours of instruction in FY2010, up from 3.5 million hours in FY2009.
More high school grads are making the TCSG a first choice: a 2009 report from the Georgia Governor's Office of Student Achievement found that TCSG colleges ranked among the top 10 most popular post-secondary choices for high school graduates in 165 state school systems, and a technical college education was the first choice in 62 of those school systems.
...and the numbers show it: there was a 16% increase in the number of TCSG students in the 25 and under age group in FY2010.
Largest TCSG colleges based on FY2010 enrollment (total students): - Chattahoochee Tech (16,866) - West Georgia Tech (11,886) - Central Georgia Tech (11,652) - Gwinnett Tech (10,684) - Georgia Northwestern Tech (9,795)
TCSG is online, too: 75,895 students enrolled in TCSG online courses in FY2010 through the system's Georgia Virtual Technical College; those students received 811,022 credit hours of instruction.
TCSG is adaptable to any student's schedule: 47% of technical college students attend full-time while 53% attend part-time.

Easy access to financial aid makes the low TCSG tuition more affordable for all Georgians
TCSG is bargain when it comes to a quality college education: the average tuition and fees for a full-time student for a full year at one of the 26 TCSG colleges is $2,700, which among the lowest in the Southeast.
Grants make a TCSG education even more affordable: Georgia's HOPE and the federal Pell grants will pay for most of a TCSG education; 164,972 TCSG students nine in ten students - took advantage of financial aid in FY2010, mostly in the form of HOPE and/or Pell grants.
TCSG college programs are in-demand and job placement is high
TCSG colleges offer small classes, hands-on experience and more instructor attention: no TCSG classes are conducted in oversized lecture halls or huge classrooms; each TCSG college offers small student-to-teacher ratios and the learning is hands-on with state-ofthe-art equipment and real-world settings.
TCSG programs supply the workforce for Georgia's strategic industries: Georgia's technical college system offers a variety of programs related to the six strategic industries that the Governor's Commission for a New Georgia identified as vital to Georgia's competitive place in the global economy: aerospace, healthcare, life sciences including biotechnology, agribusiness, energy and the environment, and logistics and transportation.
Two in five TCSG students are enrolled in strategic industry programs: last year, 40% of TCSG students enrolled in programs related to careers in Georgia's strategic industries.
Healthcare is tops among TCSG students: the vital healthcare sector is the number one choice for students in the strategic industry fields.
TCSG graduates are headed to the workforce: 28,569 students graduated from TCSG colleges in FY2010 with either technical certificates of credit, diplomas or associate degrees.
Placement rate for all TCSG grads is near perfect: according to the Georgia Department of Labor, the job placement rate for TCSG graduates is 80%; the placement grows to almost 98% by including students who continue their college education and those who become self-employed entrepreneurs.

Student and Instructor of the Year

GOAL, the Georgia Occupational Award of Leadership, recognizes the best of the best students from among this year's record-breaking enrollment at the state's 26 technical colleges. Brian Jones, a practical nursing student at North Georgia Technical College, is the Technical College System of Georgia's GOAL winner and 2010 student of the year.

"It's quite an exceptional accomplishment to be selected as the student of the year from

among the more than 190,000 students who will attend Georgia's technical colleges

this year," said TCSG Commissioner Ron Jackson. "Brian's devotion to his studies along

with extensive knowledge about his chosen field and strong enthusiasm for North

Georgia Technical College made a very strong impression on our judges. The entire

Technical College System of Georgia is proud of Brian and we congratulate him on this

very special achievement."

Brian Jones North GA Technical College

In the coming year, Brian will represent the TCSG at a number of system and college

functions as well as a chance to speak before the General Assembly and receive a

personal commendation from the Governor. Earning the distinction as Georgia's top technical college student also

means that Brian drives away in the award's grand prize: a brand-new, fully-loaded Chevrolet Cobalt, presented

by Chevrolet and the Atlanta Chevrolet dealers, sponsors of the GOAL award program.

The Technical College System of Georgia's 2010 instructor of the year the Rick Perkins Award winner - is Jessica Barfield, an instructor in the early childhood care and education program at Southwest Georgia Technical College.

"Jessica Barfield is a talented and dedicated instructor who inspires her students to learn and achieve," said TCSG Commissioner Ron Jackson. "She possesses an unbelievable commitment to bringing out the very best in her students, who graduate better-prepared for the workforce and therefore more likely to find success in their chosen careers. This is a well-deserved honor for her to be recognized as one of Georgia's great technical college instructors."

Jessica Barfield Southwest GA Technical College

Barfield was selected from among six finalists for the award by a panel of judges representing business, industry and higher education in Georgia. Selection criteria included teaching experience, leadership abilities and professionalism, proven innovation in teaching techniques, community involvement, and a strong commitment to the technical education mission of the TCSG.

For the next year, Barfield will serve as the technical college system's ambassador for technical education instruction and a representative of her fellow instructors at Georgia's 26 technical colleges. She will make numerous appearances around Georgia to speak about the great opportunities offered by the technical college system. She will also be honored by the Georgia General Assembly and receive a personal commendation from the Governor.
