This past week, Central Georgia Technical College (CGTC) hosted meetings for the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) Board of Directors and Senior Leadership Academy, allowing the College to showcase student success, unprecedented enrollment growth, and build excitement for new developments.  

Together with the leaders in education and healthcare, CGTC celebrated the launch of activities related to its recent Bloomberg Philanthropies planning grant award. State and local government representatives, regional secondary and higher education leaders, and community stakeholders joined the College and representatives from Bloomberg Philanthropies for a dinner event at Houston Lake Country Club to announce the Regional STEM/Healthcare High School initiative which will form one of the most significant public/private partnerships in Georgia history.  

In May, Bloomberg Philanthropies awarded a $692,000 planning grant to support the establishment of a regional STEM/Healthcare High School located in Houston County. The planning will be undertaken through an alliance between CGTC, the Houston County School District (HCSD), and local hospital systems aimed at establishing career-connected learning opportunities to strengthen central Georgia’s healthcare workforce.
