Graduation and Placement Rates
Every postsecondary education institution is required by law to disclose its graduation rates annually. For the 2004 cohort, the graduation rate for Savannah Technical College was 42.9% within 150% of normal time of completion. This graduation rate includes both full and part-time students.
Students attend technical colleges for a variety of reasons. While many attend with the intention of completing a program of study, others may desire only to upgrade their skills to a point sufficient for initial employment or promotion. In 2006, the job placement rate at Savannah Technical College was 87.9%.
Georgia's strong economy and the demand for qualified employers place a high premium on the skills possessed by technical institute/college students. This demand results in an increasingly high number of students being hired prior to graduation.
