GFS Design Group, Inc., a Certified HUBZone (Historically Underutilized Business Zone) Company, is honored to be part of the Peekskill City School Districts P-TECH STEAM apprenticeship program. The ApprentiSmith initiative is creating social wealth by working with neighborhood resources and Small Business to give the youth opportunities to participate in Digital projects central to business goals.
“All too often, the kids hear – You can’t get the job without the experience, and you can’t get experience without a job” said Glenn Smith, president of the Design Group. “These Apprenticeship and Mentorship opportunities bring 2 groups together as only business can. Beyond a shared success, and good will, the unintended benefit is greater than the sum of the parts: Mutual Respect.”
As details of the program evolve, GFS Design Group will participate in all capacities to ensure Workforce Readiness and Small Business success remain a top priority.
