Our Academic Success Center provides learning support at all educational levels, utilizing both faculty and peer tutors to provide optimal learning, and our ongoing student activities ensure our students are not only learning, but enjoying their time at CGTC.
Economic development is a key component to our success and that of our graduates.

By administering the state of Georgia's QuickStart program, an incentive program for new companies, we are able to offer customized training at no cost. As an authorized WorkKeys service center providing comprehensive systems for improving the workforce by using job profiling, skill assessments and specialized training programs, we can provide the tools to ensure the success of our community partners and ultimately, our community.
It is an honor to serve as your president and I look forward to continuing CGTC's legacy as we guide our students toward new endeavors.
