Northern FOREtheWIN Workforce Development Challenge
Join GMA for an evening of workforce development and networking! Learn about careers in printing AND have a great time. We’re challenging students to tee off against member companies during the FOREtheWIN Workforce Development Golf Challenge from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm.
We will start the evening at 6:00 pm sharp with a Fajita Fiesta buffet while having meaningful conversations about the industry. Tee time will begin at 7:00 pm, and students will be rotating bays every 15 - 20 minutes to get a chance to meet with all member companies in attendance. Upon conclusion of the event at 9:00 pm, we will award the winning group with the GMA FOREtheWIN Trophy and bragging rights.
There are still a few openings for members to sponsor bays.
Students: there are still spots open to participate.
April 20 was such an incredible night at our inaugural Central Region FOREtheWIN Workforce Development Challenge!
We had over 30 students participating from four local schools:
- Delaware Area Career Center
- Dublin Coffman High School
- Dublin Jerome High School
- Fort Hayes High School
Seven member companies sponsored bays and sent representatives to meet with the students:
- Baesman Group
- Fraga Graphic Solutions
- Heidelberg
- Kenwel Printers
- Robin Enterprises
- Nationwide Children's Hospital
- WestCamp
It was wonderful to have a variety of companies who offer different services within the print industry. This gave students an opportunity to see the different facets of the industry and learn about different opportunities. All of our representatives were excited to have meaningful conversations about their companies, what they do and what they are looking for in future employees.
Both member representatives and students enjoyed engaging conversations about the future of the industry while competing to take home the FOREtheWIN trophy. With a score of 969 to 465, the students took home the prize!
