Students@Work
This past Friday, April 29, GSM Services had thirty 8th grade students visiting from Stanley Middle School as part of the first-ever Students@Work Day, a program partnership between Gaston County Schools and the Gaston Regional Chamber. More than 300 middle school students from the county's 11 middle schools were paired with an area business.
Hosted Gaston County Schools - Students@Work Day
By visiting companies all over Gaston County, this program allows students to see, firsthand, the opportunities available when choosing a career path. During their visit, students were able to observe our daily operations, from customer service, engineering and computer aided design (CAD), heating and air conditioning, and sheet metal fabrication.
