Work Ethics

The Technical College System of Georgia instructs and evaluates students on work ethics in all programs of study. Ten work ethics traits have been identified and defined as essential for student success: appearance, attendance, attitude, character, communication, cooperation, organizational skills, productivity, respect, and teamwork. All courses at Ogeechee Technical College will positively reinforce the work ethics traits through discussion, modeling of behavior, and other assignments; however, formal grading on work ethics will be done in program capstone courses only.

The work ethics traits will be introduced in a designated entry-level course in each program. The instructor for the course will introduce the traits in a method that suits the design of the course and program.

Transfer students who enter a program past the introductory course will be informed of the work ethics traits by the program advisor. Program instructors will continue to incorporate the work ethics traits informally throughout the program courses.

The work ethics traits will be formally emphasized again in a designated capstone course for the program. Instruction containing program-specific characteristics of the traits will be included for this course. A written student self-assessment and a written evaluation by the instructor of the student’s behavior demonstrating adoption of the work ethics traits will be done before course completion and discussed with the student. A work ethics grade of Pass (2) or Fail (0) will be assigned in addition to the course grade for this capstone course and will appear on the student’s transcript.

The following table lists designated introductory and capstone work ethics courses for each program of study.
