WGTC Students Fare Well At SkillsUSA Events
Monday, April 17th, 2017
Three West Georgia Technical College students represented the college well at the recent regional and statewide SkillsUSA competitions. Terrance Robinson, Joseph Potts and Cade Clark each proved to be successful in their chosen fields.
Potts, who just started taking Air Conditioning Technology classes in January, was ranked the No. 2 HVAC student in the state. He received more than $500 in tools and accessories to assist him in his craft, along with his silver medal.
Robinson, the 2017 GOAL winner for West Georgia Tech and a state finalist in that competition, received a bronze medal in extemporaneous speaking. This was Robinson’s first SkillsUSA event.
Clark, a high school student enrolled in the Move On When Ready program at the Central Educational Center in Newnan, placed second in district competition. Clark is hoping to graduate high school with a diploma from West Georgia Tech in Welding and Joining Technology.
