Today our students visited GPI, where owner Brett Short gave them a tour and shared his experience as an entrepreneur.

Brett and his team offered valuable insight on starting and growing a business and building strong relationships in a service-based industry.

Student takeaways:
🔹 Stay in close contact with suppliers. They want to help you grow
🔹 Keep up with changing state and government regulations
🔹 Create systems to run your business efficiently

GPI is an investor in our program and owner, Brett Short, is a former mentor. It was great to see his business today. Thank you, Brett, for continuing to invest in and support our students.
