A feasibility study recently conducted by the DeKalb Technical College Foundation found Newton County had a shortage of skilled workers to meet employers' hiring needs in healthcare, public safety and engineering technology. Bill Gohdes, DTC dean of academic operations, said both the Covington and Newton campuses of the college will implement programs to expand the training capacity for these critical needs areas. DTC's entire Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) program will move from the Clarkston Campus to the Newton Center on Bob Williams Parkway.
