The South Georgia Technical College (SGTC) Auto Collision Repair Technology advisory committee met recently in the Morgan Transportation Building Conference Room on the SGTC Americus Campus.
The purpose of the advisory committee is to assist South Georgia Technical College faculty and staff in continuous quality improvement of the Auto Collision Repair Technology program. SGTC Auto Collision Repair Technology instructor Starlyn Sampson provided the committee with updates and information about program changes, enrollment, community activities, and student news.
The advisory committee members provide information to SGTC faculty and staff about suggested improvements in curriculum, new training opportunities that are available in the field of auto collision repair technology, new technology, employment/internship opportunities available for students, and salary levels students may anticipate upon graduation.
Advisory committee members present at the meeting were Henry Snipes of Lacy’s Paint and Body in Americus and Stephen Hilliard of Old South Auto Detail in Ellaville. Also present were SGTC Dean for Academic Affairs Dr. David Finley, SGTC Grants Coordinator Nancy Fitzgerald, and SGTC Academic Affairs Administrative Assistant April Hilliard.
The advisory committee is a crucial link that provides an avenue for South Georgia Tech instructors to learn about changing conditions or technology in the workplace that can then be passed along to students enabling them to be fully prepared upon graduation. South Georgia Tech currently offers over 200 different associate degree, diploma, and short term technical certificate of credit classes.
