"I am CEO of a national recruiting firm that specializes in placing military people into Corporate America as they transition from the service. I have been in the industry for 19 years and have been responsible for placing over 10,000 military candidates. I want you to know that EVERY North Georgia graduate who has come through our program has been absolutely outstanding. Your graduates come to us after service as Army Officers with almost the ideal mix of confidence, can-do-attitude, interpersonal skills and humilty, which as you might imagine is a pretty attractive package for our clients. Keep on doing the great job you are doing."

North Georgia builds leaders. We will prepare you for success after graduation! Combining the knowledge you learn in the classroom, and the skills you develop in the Corps of Cadets, by the time you graduate you will be ready to take charge. Whether you want to join the United States Army, work in state or local government, law enforcement, health professions, teach, or enter the corporate sector of the job market, we will make sure you are prepared! We pride ourselves in developing the finest leaders for not only the Army, but for Corporate America as well.

 

Army ROTC is a world class leadership development program. You will learn advanced problem-solving, decision-making, effective communication, time management, project management, and leadership skills. The Corps of Cadets is a leadership laboratory where you put skills learned in the classroom to practical use. Furthermore, you can minor in Leadership, which is easy to do if you are in the Corps of Cadets.

These are valuable skills that you can put on your resume after graduation! Employers and human resource managers seeking entry level managers place high value on leadership skills.

"My experience at North Georgia was the foundation to my success (professional
and personal) and also contributed to some of my closest friendships even
after 25 years."

John Cox, NGC Class of 1980 (Senior Vice President, Government Industry Strategist, Bank of America)

If you wish, you can serve your country in one of the most respected professions in the nation: an officer in the profession of arms. North Georgia is the the place for you to start! Our progressive military training is innovative in preparing ROTC cadets to take charge as officers in today's Army. If you choose to take the path to officership, you will have one of the best jobs available to any college graduate in the nation.

On your first day on the job you will be a platoon leader and responsible for more than 30 soldiers and millions of dollars worth of government equipment. On top of that, you'll receive between $50,000 and $58,000 a year in salary, 30 days paid vacation, and free medical insurance.You also do not have to pay into a retirement plan, and you can still retire after 20 years! There is no other job for a college graduate that offers as much room for personal and professional development, in addition to the benefits package, than that of a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army.

In less than 4 years after graduating, you will receive 2 promotions and be making $80-,000 - $83,000a year as a Captain in the United States Army.

Another opportunity available to our graduates is service in the National Guard or United States Army Reserves. As an officer in the Guard or the Reserve you will be able to serve your country and pursue any civilian career your wish. Guard officers are eligible for many of the same benefits as Active Duty officers such as, educational assistance, inexpensive life insurance, and space available military flight privileges. Additional benefits unique to Guard and Reserve officers are job placement assistance and hiring preferences.

On top of these benefits, Guard and Reserve officers make in excess of $7,000 a year as lieutenants, and in seven years with two promotions, a captain in the Guard/Reserve makes almost $10,000 a year. This money is in addition to the salary that Guard and Reserve officers earn with their civilian jobs. If you wish to serve your country, but you have a civilian career to pursue as well, then becoming an officer in the Guard or Reserve could be the perfect choice for you!

For more information about these exciting opportunities for financing your college, visit our Guard and Reserve pages.

As a Lieutenant in the in United States Army, there are many different jobs that you can do. The Army has 16 basic branches for second lieutenants. These branches range from combat arms branches such Infantry and Armor, to combat service support branches such as the Transportation Corps. As a lieutenant you can lead a platoon of Airborne Infantry soldiers or plan logistical support for battalions and brigades of soldiers.

"While at NGCSU, cadets are taught extensive marksmanship skills, combat lifesaver skills, communication operations, medical evacuation procedures, patrolling techniques, and how to successfully make quick decisions in stressful situations. I truthfully feel that if I had not been a member of the Corps of Cadets while at NGCSU, I would not have performed as well as I did in the many combat situations I was involved with during OIF III and IV."

1LT Christopher S. Powell, Scout Platoon Leader, 1/108th Armor, 48th Brigade Combat Team
