Enrollment in 2013 has returned the pre-recession level, though the number of full-time equivalent students was 7% higher in 2013 than in 2008. TCSG Credit Enrollment and FTE (Full Time Equivalent) Years 2011 and prior are on the quarter system; years 2012 and after are on the semester system. Academic Year 2012 does not include the summer 2011 transition quarter. Despite state agency budget cutbacks during the Great Recession, the TCSG answered the call for more instruction for Georgians seeking to improve their job potential: in 2011, TCSG students received more than 4.8 million (quarter system) credit hours of instruction (the equal of 3.2 million semester hours; the TCSG moved to semesters in fall 2011), the highest number of instruction hours delivered in the history of the system. Credit goes to the faculty and staff of the TCSG colleges who delivered record hours of instruction at a time when state budget cutbacks forced government agencies to do more with less funding. With the economy showing improvement, the colleges delivered almost 2.4 million semester hours of instruction in 2013. Georgia's high school students are jump-starting their college education (and saving on college tuition at the same time): in 2013, more than 7,100 Georgia high school students took classes through the TCSG colleges' dual and joint enrollment programs, earning both high school and technical college credits. The programs are mostly state-funded, so gaining college credits before completing high school means ambitious students can graduate from college sooner and spend less on college tuition. 3 Fast Facts Credit Hours Taught at TCSG Colleges Years 2011 and prior are quarter credit hours; years 2012 and after are semester credit hours Academic Year 2012 does not include the summer 2011 transition quarter. (1 semester credit hour = 1 quarter credit hour x .6667) TCSG High School Enrollment (Includes Dual and Joint) Years 2011 and prior are on the quarter system; years 2012 and after are on the semester system. Academic Year 2012 does not include the summer 2011 transition quarter. 4 Fast Facts TCSG Graduates Years 2011 and prior are on the quarter system; years 2012 and after are on the semester system. Academic Year 2012 does not include the summer 2011 transition quarter. The TCSG is dedicated to being part of a more seamless system of higher education in Georgia: working closely with the University System of Georgia and the state's private colleges and universities, the TCSG is opening better pathways for student success by expanding new articulation agreements that allow for the easier transfer of college credits. TCSG Awards Conferred by Level Years 2011 and prior are on the quarter system; years 2012 and later are on the semester system. 2012 includes data from the summer 2011 transition quarter. (Note: some students receive more than one award during the year, so the total awards conferred may sum to more than the unduplicated graduates). 5 Fast Facts A TCSG Education is for Everyone . . . No one is ever too young or too old to attend a TCSG college: 28% of TCSG students are considered traditional college students who are 21 years of age or younger; 39% are between 21 and 30 years old; 18% are 31 to 40; and 15% are 41 or older. The range of ages reflects the diversity of the student population at the TCSG colleges and the fact that no one should let age stand in the way of learning new skills and discovering new careers. Full-time or part-time? No problem: the TCSG colleges offer class schedules that are adaptable to students' needs. About one-third of TCSG students are enrolled full-time; two-thirds are part-time students who are taking advantage of convenient class times to balance class schedules with their job hours and personal responsibilities. There's online learning, too: 71,978 students enrolled in courses through the TCSG's Georgia Virtual Technical Connection in 2013. They received more than a half million credit hours of online instruction in a wide variety of programs. The TCSG is also building an international outreach: the TCSG International Center works with countries and colleges world-wide to improve their workforce through education partnerships and the sharing of people, programs and best practices. . . . and HOPE and Pell Launch Careers The cost to attend a TCSG college is among the lowest in the state: in 2013, the cost for a standard credit hour of instruction at the 24 TCSG colleges was $85; the average tuition (excluding books and fees) for a full, 15-hour semester course load at a TCSG college was $1,275. HOPE, Pell Grants can make a TCSG education even more affordable: 81,990 TCSG students used Georgia's HOPE tuition assistance (HOPE Grant, HOPE Scholarship, and Strategic Industries Workforce Development Grant) to attend a TCSG college in 2013. In addition, almost 91,000 TCSG students used the federal Pell Grant for their education. 2009 2013 % change Pell recipients* 58,278 90,761 56% HOPE recipients* 116,556 81,990 -30% *numbers may be duplicated by students who receive both HOPE and Pell The HOPE Grant is for certificate and diploma programs: almost 95% of TCSG students who qualified for HOPE tuition assistance in 2013 used the HOPE Grant to help pay for their tuition in certificate or diploma programs; the remaining 5% of HOPE-eligible students used the HOPE Scholarship to help pay the tuition for their associate degree programs at TCSG colleges in 2013. 6 Fast Facts TCSG students used $74.1 million in HOPE funding in 2013: TCSG students represented 45% of all of the HOPE recipients (TCSG colleges, University System of Georgia, and in-state private colleges and universities) in Georgia in 2013. TCSG students accounted for 15% of the HOPE dollars spent in Georgia during the year. 2013 HOPE Students 2013 HOPE Dollars Private 7% TCSG USG 48% 45% Private 8% TCSG 15% USG 77% Total GA students receiving HOPE: 193,788 Total HOPE funds awarded: $503,749,582 Source: Georgia Student Finance Commission Education so Good, it's Guaranteed A TCSG education means small classes, hands-on experience and more instructor attention: TCSG colleges offer more than 600 programs and most feature low student-to-teacher ratios and hands-on learning using state-of-the-art equipment in real-world settings. TCSG programs supply the workforce for Georgia's strategic industries: TCSG colleges offer world-class programs related to the six industries that have been identified as essential to keeping Georgia competitive in the global economy: aerospace, healthcare, life sciences including biotechnology, agribusiness, energy and the environment, and logistics and transportation. Two in five TCSG students enrolled in strategic industry programs in 2013: almost 40% of all TCSG students are in programs related to careers in Georgia's strategic industries, including healthcare technologies, which is the number one field of study for TCSG students. TCSG graduates are headed directly into the workforce: TCSG graduates are bridging the national skills gap by answering employers' needs for talented professionals who can understand and master the latest technologies. More than 28,000 TCSG students graduated with either a technical certificate of credit, diploma or associate degree in 2013. It's guaranteed education: if an employer finds a graduate to be deficient in a TCSG-taught competency within two years of graduation, then the TCSG will fulfill its guarantee to the employer and student to retrain him or her at no cost. Of the 35,579 students that graduated from a TCSG college in 2011, only 33 required retraining under the two-year guarantee. It's believed that no other technical college system in the country offers the same education warranty. 7 Fast Facts Largest Colleges: 2013 Credit Enrollment Chattahoochee Technical College Gwinnett Technical College West Georgia Technical College Georgia Northwestern Technical College Southern Crescent Technical College Atlanta Technical College Savannah Technical College Central Georgia Technical College* Athens Technical College Georgia Piedmont Technical College *On July 1, 2013 Central Georgia Tech merged with Middle Georgia Tech.

Job Placement Rate for TCSG Graduates 8 Fast Facts The Nation's Best Workforce Training Quick Start is the TCSG's internationally-acclaimed program dedicated to providing customized workforce training free-of-charge to qualified new, expanding and existing businesses. Since 1967, the Quick Start program has developed training systems for a wide range of state, national and international companies that have either relocated or expanded their operations in Georgia. Since its inception, Quick Start has trained almost 1.1 million Georgians through 6,527 projects. Quick Start is consistently rated as the nation's No. 1 workforce training program. Quick Start projects support Georgia's manufacturing industries: 90% of Quick Start's projects in 2013 involved training for operations involving advanced manufacturing. Quick Start serves all of Georgia: 70% of Quick Start's projects in 2013 were located outside of metro Atlanta, representing 68% of Quick Start trainees during the year. Jobs created in Georgia in 2013 with Quick Start's assistance: 9,431 jobs. Jobs saved in Georgia in 2013 with Quick Start's assistance: 2,997 jobs. Quick Start attracts international business and investment to Georgia. In 2013, Quick Start delivered 38% of its projects to companies of international origin. There were 50 Quick Start projects involving companies from 15 different countries. 9 Fast Facts A Vision for a Fully Literate Georgia Adult Education The TCSG Office of Adult Education provides adult education programs that enable adult learners to study for and earn a GED diploma. GED graduates are encouraged to transition to college and improve their lives and standing in Georgia's workforce and the local community. TCSG Adult Education is serving tens of thousands of Georgians: in 2013, almost 71,000 Georgia adult learners took part in Adult Basic and Secondary Education, GED instruction and testing, and English as a Second Language programs. GED diplomas awarded: 15,450 adults earned their GED diplomas in 2013. According to the US Census Bureau: a person with a high school or GED diploma earns approximately $10,000 more annually than a non-high school graduate; that translates to Georgia's 2011 class of GED graduates seeing their combined earnings potential increase by almost $170 million. The goal is for a fully literate Georgia, but there is more work to be done: it's estimated that 1.2 million adults over the age of 18 in Georgia have less than a high school education. There are 36 Georgia counties where 30% or more of adults do not have a high school or GED diploma: Adults Without a High School Diploma or GED 2005-09 American Community Survey (Educational Attainment 18 and Over) 10 Fast Facts Enrollment in TCSG Adult Education Programs All ABE, ASE, and ESL students with an assessment, regardless of the number of hours attended; and all work-based project learners with attendance. Georgia launched the new GED program in January 2014: developed by the national GED Testing Service in Washington, D.C., it aligns the GED program with college and career readiness standards and provides the academic rigor necessary for the increased demands of the job market. The GED test is now computer-based and can be taken at any one of the 57 stateapproved GED testing centers. The test has four content areas: Reasoning through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies. Number of GED Graduates This data includes all GEDs awarded in Georgia; it is not limited to only students enrolled in an Adult Education program. 11 Fast Facts TCSG Revenue Sources Have Shifted System Budget The Great Recession forced austerity moves in all of state government: like all other state agencies, the TCSG received its share of austerity cuts during the Great Recession and its aftermath. State funds are no longer the largest part of the TCSG budget. Percentage of TCSG funding from state appropriations in FY 2003: 59% Percentage of TCSG funding from state appropriations in FY 2013: 44% The system is relying more on other funding sources, primarily tuition and fees: as a result, the tuition for a credit hour of instruction at a TCSG college, which was $54 in 2008, has been raised four times: $60 (2010), $68 (2011), $75 (2012) and $85 (2013). FY03 TCSG Revenue Federal Funds 16% Tuition & Other Funds 25% State Funds 59% FY13 TCSG Revenue Federal Funds 9% State Funds 44% Tuition & Other Funds 47% Mergers: Efficiencies Made, Millions Saved Nine TCSG college mergers between 2009 and 2014 have created larger, more efficient colleges: the mergers save $9.5 million annually in administrative costs while increasing student access to a wider range of learning opportunities. No colleges were closed and all of the pre-merger campuses remain open and vitally important to the students, businesses and communities that they serve (merged colleges in parenthesis): Chattahoochee Technical College (Chattahoochee Tech, N.
