The Future of TCSG
The success of the Technical College System of Georgia is a testament
to the power of targeted, practical
education. Its impact on the state’s
economy, its innovations in educa-
tional delivery, and its role in community development exemplify the
transformative potential of technical
and vocational education. As Georgia
continues to grow and evolve, TCSG’s
role in shaping a resilient and skilled
workforce will undoubtedly remain a
cornerstone of the state’s success.
“We are continually moving forward, and making sure that we move
forward in innovative strategic ways,”
said Dozier. “We must continue to look
at jobs as they change and stay two
steps ahead all the time.”
