One other great reason to get into trucking is the chance to see some of this great country of ours. How many states have you been to? Are you one of those people who haven't been very many places? Well, get into trucking and you will have the opportunity to explore America. See why most people consider this to be not only the greatest country in the world, but also the most beautiful one as well. What other country has sights like The Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Park, the Great Smoky Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, New England in the fall, and so much more? Want to explore America? Become a trucker.

You and your fellow truckers know that you are doing a job that is vital for the U.S. Economy. For without trucking, we would be in a heap of trouble. If you bought it a truck brought it..! Do you have any idea how many products that you use, that are delivered by truck? So think about something that you use (car; food; pharmaceuticals; etc.) all delivered at some point by Truck.

If you're the type who likes to be home quite a bit, there are truck driving jobs where drivers are home every weekend, and in some cases, there are trucking jobs where the drivers are home every night. It must be noted though, that some of those jobs don't pay as well as the long haul jobs do. Local drivers earn an average annual wage of $35,000.00 to $48,000.00 however local wages are predicted to rise over the next 2 or 3 years due to an aging driver pool.

If you think that Trucking is for you, the first step is to enter the Commercial Truck Driving Program at Chattahoochee Technical College located at the North Metro Campus. The Commercial Truck Driving Certificate Program is highly respected by all U.S. trucking companies. The career opportunities for professional truck drivers number in the thousands. The time could not be better than now to choose a career as Pro Trucker.  Chattahoochee Technical College can help you find a great truck driving career in the region of the country where you wish to live. We do not guarantee employment however we have a long list of Trucking Firms seeking drivers who graduate from Chattahoochee Technical College…! Get started now...you can be on the road soon making a positive difference and earning a salary you can be proud of.

For more information please contact Ray Puckett.

ANDREA DAVIDSON began her love affair with performing and composing music early in life. She sings with a powerful roomy voice that retains emotion, unique timbre and uncanny dynamic cadence. More importantly she has a special connection to her audience. Her music is suffused with a multitude of influences ranging from the melodic vibrations of The Beatles to the lyrical resonance of Bob Dylan, the soulful sounds of Bill Withers and Marvin Gaye, to the acoustic feel of Ray LaMontagne and Patty Griffin.

 Thursday, August 25 at 6:30 pm
at the Appalachian - Jasper Campus
(Education Center - Pickens Hall)Chattahoochee Technical College has been selected to host two town hall meetings for the Governor’s Office of Workforce Development. House Bill 186, was recently signed into law to establish certification in soft skills such as punctuality, ability to learn, appropriate business attire and ability to work as a team. This certification will complement the current assessment system utilized in Georgia to assess knowledge in applied math, reading for information and locating information.  Upon graduation, students will have a diploma as well as certifications in soft skills and work readiness.

These public town hall meetings will allow Georgians, including students, parents, business leaders, and Georgia’s professional educators, to be a part of the establishment of a statewide certification in soft skills for Georgia’s schools.

Please join us and let your voice be heard.

http://www.faa.gov/jobs/job_opportunities/airtraffic_controllers - Fill out the application immediately - even if they don't know if they'd want to attend immediately - it's the federal government and it may take them months to call. The key is to apply NOW... There will be a lot of retirements coming up rather quickly and they need to line up training to accommodate these openings. It's my understanding that the FAA rarely has an open application such as this and that the jobs are coveted.

This is a great opportunity and it should be noted that choosing a site like Anchorage or Indianapolis to train is a likely acceptance into the training program - after which you can transfer anywhere in the country that has a tower. I hope you pass this information on to family & friends.

Construction of bus shelters at the relocated bus stop and new sidewalk (indicated in red in the map below) to connect pedestrian traffic from the new bus stop location to the CTC Marietta Campus will be completed by mid-July 2011.

Pedestrian safety is a top priority for Cobb County. For more information, we encourage CTC students and staff to view DOT’s Pedestrian Safety webpage Walk this Way at www.cobbdot.org, click on Pedestrian Safety.

The Importance of LinkedIn 

LinkedIn is an important online network. It is estimated that approximately 82% of American businesses are using LinkedIn as their primary source for finding qualified candidates to fill new positions. If you are not LinkedIn, you are not on a level playing field when searching for a job.

Our Instructor 

Our instructor, Kelly Quattlebaum, is the President of Global Marcoms, an international consulting company that offers social media, marketing, public relations, business development and sales services to small and midsize businesses, as well as global corporations. 

Kelly is an expert on Social Media and Social Networking, specializing in LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.  She will teach all students and faculty how to use LinkedIn as a wonderful career tool by using it properly and maintaining it regularly. You will learn how to keep your LinkedIn profile relevant and working for you.  

Get LinkedIn BEFORE the Event: 

No profile yet? The AMA student members will be holding 4 workshops prior to this main event to walk you through, step-by-step, how to set up an account. Students should bring a copy of their resume on a flash drive with them to these.

I wanted to drop everyone a line to remind everyone about a few AMA items and things in the works for our club:

1. We would like to welcome Mr. Ryan Greene to the AMA as our new advisor.  Mr. Gene Freund, the founder of this chapter, recently moved out of state.  Although we were sad to see him leave, we are excited to have Mr. Greene bring new energy and ideas to our chapter.  Please give him a warm welcome when you see him.
2. An AMA meeting will be held this Thursday, Feb. 3 at 5pm (YES, that is 5 PM for those of you students who have been asking for an evening time instead of a morning time)!  The meeting will be held at the North Metro campus in Room 204.  The topic is one that I think needs to be covered:
   
   "The ABC's of the AMA" - this meeting, we are inviting newbies, visitors, the curious and the fence-sitters to come and see what AMA is all about.  We are actively recruiting NOW for our new officers/board members.  Imagine what a feather in your resume cap serving as an officer in the AMA would be to your resume.  If you haven't been to any meetings in a while, come to this one.  Everyone will be "new" and you can get involved right now.
3. The AMA Collegiate Conference is less than 2 weeks away.  It will be held at the Biltmore in Atlanta on Friday, February 11th and your club membership qualifies you to go.
   
   What can you expect?
   
   -FUN
   - 4 amazing speakers to motivate and challenge you
   - Networking!
   - over a dozen companies offering internships and entry-level positions in the recruitment fair so bring your resume and your biggest smile!
   
   If you did not reserve your space, you are IN LUCK!  We have 2 more tickets.  If you are interested in joining us at the conference, please send an e-mail request to me at ShannonHames@gmail.com and I will add you.

Losing a child to a brain tumor is a pain most us can't even imagine. Catie Wilkins was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a brain tumor, on her first birthday, Sep. 26, 2003, Catie endured 11 surgeries, 36 months of chemotherapy, and 30 radiation treatments. The little girl fought hard. Catie was 4 years old when she died Jan. 19, 2007.

One of Catie's favorite possessions was her Elf. His name was Jingle, but Catie always called him "that Silly Old Elf."

Every night during the holidays, while the kids are asleep, elf gets into some type of mischief. Think of knocking books off a shelf or pulling down garland.

“On a regular basis, CTC hosts free 30 minute workshops designed to empower students in developing strategies to achieve academic and career success,” said Dianne Barker, special populations coordinator at Chattahoochee Technical College. “We cover various topics in academic enhancement, personal development and career exploration.”

Ranging from test taking skills to finding ways to finance a business venture, the workshops are offered at CTC’s seven campuses. One of the most popular and most requested topics, according to Barker is child development. That is why CTC invited Kennesaw State University Early Childhood Education Professor Dr. Raynice Jean-Sigur to speak with students about just that topic.

Jean-Sigur’s program, entitled From 0-8 in 60 Seconds: How to Keep Pace with Your Growing Child, was designed to teach students about children from birth to age 8. According to theorists, Jean-Sigur told the audience, much of a person’s brain development occurs before someone is 3 years old.

“As caregivers of young children we hold many different jobs,” she said. “These jobs can be without financial incentive. However, the reward comes when we witness our children grow into healthy individuals.”

Upcoming Free Workshops include:

• North Metro Campus: Wednesday Workshops Room 117
• May 19 Stress Management – Cheri Mattox, CTC
• May 26 WIN, WIN”: Strategies for Reducing Conflict– Dr. Betty Ann Cook, CTC

“In our quest to help our students become global citizens, it’s an important concept for our students to understand the diversity in the world around them,” said Greg Moor, International Services and International Center Coordinator at Chattahoochee Technical College. “A big part of that is making sure students know that it is good to be understanding and tolerant of other cultures through exposure and experiences like this. The festival helps bring that message home.”

The festival will run from 11 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. and feature performers, international food and other exhibits. Among the entertainment expected to be on presented are a Mariachi band, Thai dancers, African drummer and a belly dancer. Visitors will also be able to sample food from Australia, China, the Mediterranean, Mexico, Jamaica and Nigeria. Also available will be Henna Art from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“We will have more diverse food samples from around the world this year,” Moor said. “We always offer something the festival visitor can take with them; this year for the first time we will have Henna Art – a form of body art drawn on the body by eucalyptus ink.”

With the largest and most diverse population of international students of any of Georgia’s 28 technical colleges, Chattahoochee Technical College currently enrolls more than 1,500 foreign born students, representing more than 80 countries. It is currently the only technical college in Georgia with an international center.

The International Center provides services that support the college’s non-immigrant, international, permanent resident, exchange, and foreign-born student population. It provides pre-admission to post-graduation assistance. Programs that support the international community and international initiatives are directed through the International Center/International Services.
