GMF Career Fair

Our 4th annual GMF Career Fair was our biggest yet! We welcomed a record-breaking 900 participants—including students from Polk and Hillsborough County, educators, exhibitors, trade partners, and local officials.

We are fortunate to inspire and introduce the next generation of skilled trades professionals to our Welding School and Structural Steel Ironworker Apprenticeship Program. With the Steel Erectors Association of America partnering alongside us in the certification process, we continue to expand the impact of our training and student success. A special thank you to Mayor, Sarah Roberts McCarley and William Allen for your ongoing support of students and the trades, and to the Tampa Bay Rays for sending Raymond to make the day even more memorable!
