The strategic plan for Oconee Fall Line Technical College focuses on contributing to the economic and workforce development of east central Georgia through quality technical and continuing education, adult education, and business and industry services. Key goals include providing industry-driven education, increasing adult literacy, delivering customized workforce training, and enhancing college operations through effective resource management and continuous improvement.

Oconee Fall Line Technical College's strategic plan is a continuous improvement process focused on enhancing the student experience. It involves broad visioning, operational planning with specific outcomes, budgeting based on unit-level needs, and ongoing assessment for continuous improvement. The plan addresses the college's mission, vision, and goals over a five-year period, considering both internal and external factors such as economic and academic trends. Data from the President's Assessment Plan, including enrollment, graduation rates, retention, student satisfaction, and budgetary indicators, informs the plan's development. The plan's implementation involves a college-wide planning team and a smaller group that finalizes the plan, which is then shared with the faculty, staff, and Board of Directors. Unit-level operational plans, including student learning outcomes for educational programs and service outcomes for support units, are developed and assessed annually. A key component is the ABCD model for writing outcomes, focusing on audience, behavior, condition, and degree. The budgeting process directly supports the achievement of stated outcomes, and assessment involves various methods to measure performance and drive continuous improvement.
