Advisory Committees
In accordance with TCSG policy 5.1.3 - Technical Advisory Committees, select occupational programs work closely with Technical Advisory Committees to advise the State Board on the development of curricula to address labor market needs. These committees are purposed to provide expert support for each associate degree, diploma, and select technical certificate of credit programs. Technical Advisory Committees work closely with their respective occupational programs and provide advice as to the adequacy of equipment, facilities, instruction, and graduates' job performance capabilities. In addition, the committees are established to promote interaction between the occupational program and stakeholders in the community served by the program. Interaction includes using the expertise of the committee member to improve curriculum content and program operation.
Technical Advisory Committee membership is representative of the community and employment market served by the occupational program. As Augusta Technical College serves five counties, representation of all five counties is sought for each committee. Faculty members from each occupational program or program-related group, with assistance from College administrators, select the Technical Advisory Committee members.
