Adults looking to improve their employment options can prepare for high-demand jobs at the Atlanta Technical College. The college will host an Open House on Saturday, March 12. From 10AM to 1 PM, faculty, administrators and student ambassadors will be on hand to greet prospective students and share tips on making a smooth transition into college.

The program will include campus tours and presentations by staff on financial aid, student life, the admissions process and student support services. The mission of Atlanta Technical College is workforce development. Programs are designed to help students enter the job market quickly. Atlanta Tech will waive the application fee for anyone who completes an application at the Open House.

Current high school students and their parents are also encouraged to attend the open house. Information will be provided on dual enrollment programs and the new Atlanta College and Career Academy.
