South Georgia Technical College’s Career Services department recently coordinated a career forum for the Housing Authority of Americus. SGTC faculty and staff representatives from Admissions, Financial Aid, Adult Education, Academic Affairs, and the Criminal Justice Technology program all provided informational presentations.

She gave resume writing tips and job interview advice to tenants of the Housing Authority. SGTC faculty and staff presenters spoke about the many programs available at SGTC and financial aid available to students. Several of the forum attendees filled out applications to attend South Georgia Technical College, Carter reported.     Sixty tenants attended the forum under the leadership of Resident Services Coordinator Diana Roberts. “We’re working directly with Mrs. Roberts and the Housing Authority’s tenants to enhance the quality of life in our communities,” said Carter.   The Housing Authority of Americus (HAA) is committed to providing quality, safe, and affordable housing to eligible families in an efficient, ethical, non-discriminatory and professional manner.
