About
The Georgia High School High Tech Program is a comprehensive community-based program providing youth with disabilities a link to academic and career-development experiences that enable them to successfully meet the workforce demands of the 21st century. The program consists of state government agencies, school systems, non-profit organizations, community organizations, and the private sector working together to provide seamless services for students with disabilities in the local community.

The program is a collaboration between the Georgia Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities, Inc., The Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency, and local school systems throughout the state.
