Atlanta Technical College

What Atlanta Technical College does

Atlanta Technical College is a public technical college located in Atlanta, Georgia, operating as one of 25 colleges within the Technical College System of Georgia, a state government entity. Founded in 1967 and employing 251-500 staff across two campuses (main campus at 1560 Metropolitan Parkway SW and ATC South at 485 Atlanta South Parkway), the institution delivers more than 120 academic programs across three divisions: Business & Public Service Technologies, Health & Public Safety Technologies, and Industrial & Transportation Technologies. Programs award associate degrees, diplomas, and technical certificates of credit, with delivery modes spanning on-campus instruction, online learning through eCampus, dual enrollment for high school students, and continuing education. The college is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACSCOC).

The institution runs a technology stack anchored on Banner (student information system), Blackboard (learning management), Microsoft 365 (productivity), Okta (single sign-on identity management), eCampus (online learning), and Salesforce TargetX (event and inquiry management). Recent initiatives include the Datacenter Academy Lab Facility, Google AI Career Certificates, the Uwill mental health platform, and a Felix-Fechenbach Berufskolleg sister-school exchange in Germany. The Center for Workforce Innovation (CWI) connects industry sponsors — including Delta Air Lines, AT&T, Bank of America, Home Depot, Georgia Power, Intercontinental Exchange, Truist, and the City of Atlanta — with curriculum design, internships, apprenticeships, and direct hiring.

Revenue is generated primarily through state appropriations from TCSG, federal WIOA Title I funding, Pell Grants, student tuition (with tuition-free programs effective Summer 2022), customized contract training via the Economic Development division, and donations to the Atlanta Technical College Foundation, Inc. (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1999). Distribution is multi-channel: direct online and in-person enrollment, dual enrollment through metro Atlanta high schools, the CWI employer pipeline, and the eCampus online platform. Customer segments span traditional college students, dual-enrolled high school students, GED seekers, career advancers, veterans, and industry employer partners.
