Guilford Apprenticeship Partners (GAP)
Businesses in many sectors employ an aging workforce and struggle to locate the next generation of skilled talent. Providing opportunities for rising high school seniors and recent graduates to further their education and obtain paid work experience, GAP not only gives students an opportunity to receive free college, a paycheck and a full-time position post graduation – this partnership helps our Members identify future employees and leaders and grow their workforce.
