Within this communication are the upcoming GAP Company Open House Schedule for the 2019-2020 Year.

Students must attend at least one of these with a parent or guardian, but they are encouraged to attend as many as they can. Each company will present information about their company as well as what positions they are recruiting for this year's GAP cohort. In addition most companies will give tours of their facilities. 

Use the Sign up genie within this blog to sign up since they ask that students and parents register on the sign-up genius but if you decide to go last minute, that is fine too.
