Kia Georgia has announced a $100,000 donation to the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) Foundation, reinforcing its commitment to advancing workforce development and technical education in Georgia. The contribution will benefit Augusta Technical College students, among others, across the state.
The contribution was presented by Kia Georgia President and CEO, Stuart Countess, during TCSG’s annual Georgia Occupational Award of Leadership (GOAL) and Rick Perkins Awards banquet, which honors the state’s top technical college students and instructors.
“We are proud to continue our partnership with the Technical College System of Georgia to support students in achieving their educational and career goals,” said Countess. “Technical education is a driver of innovation and opportunity, and by investing in TCSG, we’re investing in the future of Georgia’s workforce.”
This latest investment from Kia Georgia will expand access to essential resources for students and help remove financial barriers that may hinder completion of their programs. A portion of the funds will support TCSG’s Last Mile Fund, which provides assistance to students nearing graduation who face financial challenges in their final semesters.
“Kia Georgia continues to be a tremendous partner to our system, our colleges, and most importantly, our students,” said TCSG Commissioner, Greg Dozier. “This generous donation will create meaningful opportunities for learners across the state and support the development of a skilled, job-ready workforce.”
Today, more than 148,000 students are enrolled in technical education programs across TCSG’s 22 colleges—preparing to meet the demands of Georgia’s growing economy.
