Southwest Georgia Technical College’s Skills USA was organized during the 1986-87 school year as a part of Skills USA/VICA. Some of the purposes of Skills USA are:

  • To unite in a common bond all students enrolled in trade, industrial, technical, and health education.
  • To develop leadership abilities through participation in educational, vocational, civic, recreational, and social activities.
  • To foster a deep respect for the DIGNITY OF WORK.
  • To assist students in establishing realistic vocational goals.
  • To help students attain a purposeful life.
  • To create enthusiasm for learning.
  • To promote high standards in trade ethics, workmanship, scholarship, and safety.
  • To create among students, faculty members, patrons of the school, and persons in business and labor a sincere interest and esteem for trade, industrial, technical, and health education.
  • To develop patriotism through a knowledge of our Nation’s heritage and the practice of DEMOCRACY.
