North Georgia Technical College

Established in 1943, North Georgia Technical College (NGTC) is proud to be the first technical college in Georgia. The main campus is situated on more than 300 acres off Georgia Highway 197 in Clarkesville, Georgia. The Blairsville campus opened in 1998 followed by the Currahee campus in Toccoa in 2005. NGTC, a unit of the Technical College System of Georgia, provides affordable, relevant education and technical training to support community workforce development. NGTC has a vision to elevate the quality of life for the individuals and communities we serve, and values collaboration, integrity, respect and success.

The college believes that higher education should be available, accessible, and affordable to all individuals who desire it. Technical colleges offer a unique niche in their ability to train and educate people to enter the workforce quickly through a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on experience. NGTC’s highly trained faculty and staff remain clear on that goal and focus on the success of each student. Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, employing cutting-edge techniques, and leveraging partnerships with local industries allows NGTC to maintain strong enrollment, graduation, and job placement rates.

NGTC offers more than 80 degree, diploma, or certificate programs to choose from and provides instruction in various ways including in-person, online, and hybrid. The NGTC Clarkesville campus is also one of two technical colleges in Georgia that offers on-campus housing. The NGTC Foundation also offers scholarships each semester for students who qualify.
