Instructors at Augusta Technical College have nominated 22 students for the Georgia Occupational Award of Leadership (GOAL), according to John Richardson, coordinator for the college’s GOAL program. The Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education sponsors the GOAL program at the state-level. At the college-level, GOAL is sponsored by the Optimist Club of Augusta and coordinated by officials from Augusta Technical College. "The purpose of the GOAL program," said Richardson, "is to spotlight the importance of technical education in today's world of work and to recognize outstanding achievement by students in Georgia's technical colleges." A Screening Committee of administrators and instructors at Augusta Technical College will now review all the nominations and interview each of the students. After the nominees have been ranked, four finalists will be chosen to compete for the title of Augusta Technical College GOAL winner. The four finalists will then be interviewed and evaluated by a selection committee of representatives from business and industry. The student judged most outstanding will be designated the college’s nominee for the title of state GOAL winner and will compete with representatives from the state's other technical colleges for the state award. The winner of the state GOAL title, which is awarded for excellence in leadership and ability, will receive the GOAL medallion and the grand prize of new automobile. The state winner’s college GOAL coordinator and the nominating instructor will receive a $250 check. Congratulations to the following students and their respective nominating instructors for making the first round of the 2007 GOAL qualification process.
