QUIET ON THE SET…

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

Students are invited to create a 30 sec – 2 min film with their smartphone to tell a story about employability and critical thinking skills (due July 13). The top films will be presented to the college community on Wednesday, July 18 at Savannah, Liberty, and Effingham campuses at 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Students, faculty, and staff will vote on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. See submission guidelines and contest rules below.

Savannah Technical College programs prepare students for hire-ability in the current workforce! The most essential components employers look for are candidates that have BOTH a balance of high level technical job skills and development of soft skills to communicate and collaborate effectively in work relationships.

Organizations remain competitive by employees excelling in:

  • teamwork
  • flexibility
  • creativity
  • leadership
  • streamlined communication
  • effective conflict resolution
  • strong interaction with peers/clients

Show us how EPIC your soft skills are and create a BLOCKBUSTER!
