Our Work in Action
A Multi-District Initiative in Hennepin County, MN

Developing Apprenticeships in a Diverse School District
In this case study you will see how a Milwaukee County, WI school district partnered with GPS Ed to create Youth Apprenticeships and early career awareness programs, for students’ readiness in work-based learning.
Improving Opportunity for All by Integrating School, Community and the Workplace
In this white paper, you will explore the intricate ecosystems of Work-Based Learning (WBL) and discover innovative strategies to integrate real-world experiences into education.
We help students transition from the learning environment to the working environment by providing first-hand experience in meaningful technical careers. This early career exposure prepares students for life as working adults and creates opportunities for schools, businesses and communities.
When you implement a sustainable work-based learning program, the positive impact extends beyond the school itself, also benefiting:
BUSINESSES
By providing solutions to help close the workforce gap, allowing for industry growth by filling the talent pipeline with the next generation of workers.
STUDENTS
By expanding learning opportunities to prepare them for a successful and sustainable future through hands-on, real world work experience.
COMMUNITIES
By creating success opportunities through augmented programming and new connections, thus closing educational and socioeconomic gaps.
