Real Challenges
The Future Challenge
Meeting the needs of providing additional healthcare professionals is priority one at Columbus Technical College at this time.
Today, our focus is on a healthcare system in need and its impact on our community. Over the last 25-30 years, virtually every new or expanding company in our region has been the beneficiary of the services of Columbus Technical College and the Georgia Quick Start Program. The same flexible and responsive approach and creative thinking that has served us so well in other sectors will be needed to meet our challenges in healthcare. |

In the past year, Columbus Technical College has launched five new associate degree programs in healthcare – Health Information Technology, Pharmacy Technology, Respiratory Care Technology, Medical Office Technology, and Diagnostic Medical Sonography.
Unfortunately, funding limitations have kept the College from implementing other programs that are in high demand. Budget constraints have also forced Columbus Technical College to turn away more than 600 fully qualified students in areas of critical need, including registered nursing and practical nursing. The Tomorrow's Workforce... Today campaign will assist the College in implementing programs and in building new teaching facilities on its River Road property.
