NOW PRESENTING . . . RESULTS

We wanted the new, official journal of the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education to have a name that captures the essence of the agency. The one word that seemed to tie it all together was RESULTS because that is what this agency delivers.

And that is what this magazine will deliver - the results of work completed and work in progress by the agency's four business units:

Adult Literacy - primarily responsible for promoting and providing adult literacy and GED programs throughout the state.

Economic Development - offering Quick Start, customized business and industry training, and other support such as workforce development partnerships.

Public Libraries - serving 370 Georgia public libraries by providing administrative, training, consulting and other support functions.

Technical Education - primarily responsible for providing quality technical training and retraining through a coordinated system of technical institutes -- 34 technical institutes, 17 satellite centers and technical programs at four state colleges.

Today, DTAE is a leader in preparing Georgia's workforce for the 21st century. Training and education -- with curriculum relevant to the state's business and industry -- continue to be our hallmark. In continuing to accomplish our mission, DTAE provides Georgia's citizens with access to lifelong education and training opportunities.

As I travel around the state, I see living proof of these words. I see Georgia's technical institutes providing both a future and a present for citizen after citizen. We think it is important for people to understand what a technical education can provide. We think it is important for them to hear the stories, to see the results.

In this premiere issue, we begin to tell our stories. We are proud of our department's results, and we welcome your interest in RESULTS magazine.

Kenneth H. Breeden, Commissioner
