The Technical College System of Georgia is a unified system of technical education, custom business and industry training and adult education. Our programs use the best available technology and offer easy access to lifelong learning for all Georgians. This system is part of a seamless education process for Georgia in which students can transfer credits efficiently as they advance from secondary schools to technical colleges and to the university system.

The Department of Technical and Adult Education is the state agency responsible for overseeing the Technical College System of Georgia, the Adult Education program, and a host of economic and workforce development programs.
