To be considered for membership in the National Technical Honor Society, students must have a 3.5 GPA and be enrolled in a diploma, degree or degree core certificate program. Additional requirements include having a 2 or better in Work Ethics, involvement in school, church or community organizations, the completion of 20 quarter credit hours or 18 semester credit hours, and an instructor nomination.
The induction ceremony included the “lighting of the candles,” a tradition where a candle is lit representing the attributes of knowledge, skill, honesty, service, responsibility, scholarship, citizenship and leadership. The ceremony also included the pinning of inductees and ended with the National Technical Honor Society pledge.
Upon graduation, members of the National Technical Honor Society receive three letters of recommendation from the national office to take with them on job interviews. In addition to this, members also have access to the National Technical Honor Society Online Career Center to aid in finding employment. Members also have the opportunity to pursue scholarships as well, some of which are in conjunction with other student organizations at West Georgia Technical College. A total of $91,000 in scholarships is available.
“These students are an example of the excellence we bring in the classroom and in the workforce,” said West Georgia Technical College President Dr. Skip Sullivan. “I am proud of every one of them and congratulate them on their achievements.”
