🌟 Building Bridges for Workforce Development 🌟 Our very own Director of Partner Services, Jeremy, recently joined a virtual roundtable hosted by the Milwaukee Business Journal to discuss workforce development and training. With a focus on youth workforce development, Jeremy highlighted how GPS Ed’s Education Center & Youth Apprenticeship Program connects students with hands-on learning opportunities, equipping them with the skills and confidence to thrive in the workplace. The conversation, moderated by Eric Radomski of Milwaukee Public Schools (one of our valued partners), explored solutions for bridging education and industry. With Milwaukee Area Technical College insights on adult education and dual-credit opportunities, the discussion underscored the importance of partnerships across all stages of career readiness. We’re proud to be part of these meaningful conversations and to work alongside businesses, schools, and community organizations to create pathways to success for students. 👉 Read more about the roundtable and key takeaways here: https://bit.ly/4gRGhxt #WorkforceDevelopment #StudentSuccess #YouthApprenticeship #CommunityImpact #BusinessLeadership #EducationAndIndustry #GPSEd

🌟 Grateful for Impactful Partnerships! 🌟 We had the privilege of attending Impact100 Greater Milwaukee's Helping Hands event, and we’re still feeling inspired! 💙 In July, Impact100 awarded GPS Ed $100,000 to support our Education Center & Youth Apprenticeship Program. Their generosity is helping us tackle critical challenges like student transportation and access to cutting-edge technology. At the event, we shared the success of our grant-funded pilot programs, including the zSpace, Inc. technology, now benefiting ALL of our students. We even highlighted Brayden’s inspiring story of using the automotive module to repair his car—a true testament to the power of hands-on learning! 🚗✨ The response from attendees was incredible, with donations like wireless mice, a Menards gift card, nearly $400 in cash, and even connections to new supporters eager to amplify our impact. Organizations like Impact100 help us break barriers and fill gaps, ensuring our students have the tools they need to succeed. As we approach the end of the year, YOU can make a difference too! Your contributions can help us empower more students and create lasting change. 👉 Donate today to make an impact: https://bit.ly/3OOgpGF #Gratitude #CommunitySupport #Impact100 #GPSEd #StudentSuccess #YearEndGiving #MakeAnImpact
