GOAL - Georgia Occupational Award of Leadership

The Georgia Occupational Award of Leadership (GOAL) program is sponsored at the state level by the State Board of the Technical College System of Georgia. The program strives to give recognition to the importance of technical education.

Students are nominated annually by their instructors. The selected students prepare for two rounds of interviews that are held within the college to determine the school winner. The finalist represents West Georgia Technical College in the statewide competition.

Are you an instructor? Would you like to nominate a student for the GOAL program? Help your student tell their story and become the next face of WGTC and possibly TCSG!
