*2021 Career Connected Learning Fall Workshops Start September 29

* UPDATE: Due to continuing pandemic concerns, we have made the decision to postpone all of our Fall 2021 Business AfterSchool in-person workshops.

The decision to postpone the Business AfterSchool workshops wasn’t taken lightly, however, due to some transportation and educator substitution shortages, in combination with other unknowns, it’s our intent to move the workshops to Spring of 2022 when we can ensure everyone’s safety and have a successful event.

Our Business AfterSchool program remains an important part of our work to build and retain a talented workforce. We look forward to a successful Spring semester offering.


GSI is partnering with businesses around the region to present the 2021 Fall line-up of career-connected learning events for local students and educators. The two event series’ Business AfterSchool and Teaching the Teachers provide real-world experiences and for students to connect with the world of business and learn about future careers available.

These programs are one part of an overall effort GSI has to build, champion, and retain a talented workforce in our region and build a thriving economy.

High school students, parents, and educators are invited to attend. The events are free, but registration is required. View the workshops below to register and click here to download the event flyer. All events are in-person, but masks are required to attend.
