GSI is partnering with businesses around the region to present the 2022 Spring line-up of career-connected learning events for local students and educators. The two event series’ Business AfterSchool and Teaching the Teachers provides experiences for teachers and 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. Most events are in-person, but masks are required to attend.
*As we plan for this in-person event, we are aware of current health challenges and will continue to evaluate precautions as the date for these events draw near. We are taking state-guided safety measures, including social distancing, providing hand sanitizer, food-handling directives, and adhering to the mask mandate.
