The Student Affairs staff at North Georgia Technical College are welcoming the newest NGTC team member, Arnold White. Mr. White is filling the role of Career Placement & Development Director which opened when Daniel Gregg retired at the end of March.
“We are very excited to have Arnold and the wealth of experience he brings to the college,” said Dean for Student Affairs Dr. Fran Chastain. “Arnold will be working with our service area employers to continue building relationships for placement of our students upon graduation and to further develop internships and the possibilities of apprenticeships for our students.”
White’s background includes experience in a variety of educational environments as well as corporate positions. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Western Carolina University, and a Masters in Interrelated Special Education from Georgia College in Milledgeville. For the last several years, he has become ingrained in the Habersham community as a teacher at North Habersham Middle School.
“There are a lot of people in our area who need to know more about the great things this college has to offer,” he says. “I’m excited about the prospect of bringing a new perspective on hiring our graduates to the businesses and industries in our area.” White sees a great potential for expanding placement of NGTC graduates by exploring all facets of the organizational needs. For example, hospitals need more than just graduates in the medical field; they need accountants, air conditioning technicians, industrial systems technicians, and more.
Arnold is a resident of Stephens County and the proud father of two beautiful daughters, Rachel and Anna.
