At GESG, we’re committed not just to finding top talent now, but also to developing the exceptional talent of the future. That’s why our team was so pleased to participate in a recent mentorship event at Bedford High School in Bedford, Ohio.
GESG partnered with Values in Action, a foundation focused on building community and kindness, providing skills training, and teaching a foundation of respect, caring, and values-based decision-making. One of their core programs is VIA Workforce Training, which brings career readiness opportunities to juniors and seniors in high school.
Rather than focusing solely on “hard” or technical skills, VIA Workforce Training also provides students with soft skills that will serve them in any career path, such as responsibility, integrity, resiliency, collaboration, and ethics. As part of the program, students meet with mentors from partner employers, such as GESG. The students learned more about what we do, what potential careers might look like, and the values to focus on to set themselves up for success in college, first jobs, and beyond!
At GESG, our team knows what it means to have core values drive everyday work. Our values of passion, success, teamwork, and flexibility drive everything we do. We understand the importance of building relationships in this business: between candidates and companies, between recruiters and clients, between mentors and mentees. We appreciate the opportunity to pass the importance of these qualities on to the next generation!
