SGTC Practical Nursing advisory committee meets

The South Georgia Technical College Practical Nursing advisory committee met recently in the McLain Hall building on the SGTC Americus campus to discuss the career field and training with one another. The purpose of the advisory committee is to assist South Georgia Tech faculty and staff in continuous quality improvement of the Early Childhood Care and Education program. SGTC practical nursing Americus campus instructors Christine Rundle and Jennifer Childs 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 early childhood care and education, new technology, employment/internship opportunities available for students, and salary levels students may anticipate upon graduation. Members present at the advisory committee meeting included: Debra Webb, Lillian Center; Tammi Johnston, Phoebe Sumter Medical Center; and Sandhya Muljibhai, WIOA Coordinator. SGTC Academic Dean Vanessa Wall and PN student representative Sheri Arial were also present at the advisory committee meeting. 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 that will enable them to be fully prepared upon graduation.
