Ogeechee Technical College instructor Nick DeBonis, right, teaches a class in services marketing to students in the associate of arts marketing program. Credits for classes such as this one can now be transferred to 4-year universities.

Lacy McLaurin, 20, from Rincon, is on track to complete courses for her associate degree in hotel, restaurant and tourism management in August. Employability is not in doubt, since her internship has her working full-time as cultural concierge and membership relations director at Savannah Quarters Country Club in Pooler, a job she plans to keep after graduation.
