Job Families Communications
Georgia Tech is committed to creating a comprehensive career system for our employees. Building a new job family framework and career system is complex and will take time, patience, and engagement from the entire Georgia Tech community. Based on employee feedback, we are refreshing our communication approach to ensure employees are aware and well-informed throughout this transformation.
