The Georgia Occupational Award for Leadership is recognition sponsored jointly at the state level by the Technical College System of Georgia and the Business Council of Georgia. At the local level, the program is sponsored by the Area Chambers of Commerce, as well as Georgia Northwestern Technical College. The purpose of the program is to give proper recognition to the dignity and importance of technical education in today’s economy. In the spring, four local winners are selected by a screening committee. Winners are awarded a cash prize. Of the four local winners, one will be selected to represent Georgia Northwestern Technical College in the regional level and then in the state competition. Grades, attitude, personal goals, and self-confidence are considered in selecting GOAL winners.
