About the Merger Between Southeastern Technical College and Swainsboro Technical College
On July 1, 2009, the two colleges will bring together operations under the name "Southeastern Technical College."
The new Southeastern Technical College will serve approximately 2,000 students. The merged college will serve Candler, Emanuel, Jenkins, Johnson, Montgomery, Tattnall, Toombs, and Treutlen counties. Our communities will have access to educational resources available at Southeastern Tech through its 75+ associate degree, diploma and technical certificate programs, along with business and industry training and certifications.
"I feel there is strength in numbers. Together, we can offer our students more. I believe that the merger between these two great schools is going to create an even stronger college that helps the economic development of our communities," said Dr. Cathryn Mitchell.
"The future economic prosperity of Georgia and its citizens is directly tied to our ability to improve the knowledge and skills of our region’s workforce," said Larry Calhoun, President of Swainsboro Tech. "The merger of Southeastern and Swainsboro Technical Colleges will create a new institution able to focus more resources on providing the trained, educated workforce so vital to the economic growth of our combined service area."
