The Genesee Career Institute (GCI), located at G-5081 Torrey Road in Flint, is welcoming Genesee County high students and their families to its campus for an Open House on Thursday, February 16 from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m.
Current GCI students are looking forward to showing off many of the career and technical education center’s state-of-the-art classrooms and labs where they prepare for some of Michigan’s hottest jobs and career areas. Open House visitors will experience live demonstrations featuring the equipment and other technologies that prepare students with knowledge and skills that result in good jobs right out of high school or helps kickstart their college education.
The Open House will provide parents and teens a chance to talk with instructors and acquire higher education and trades information from area college and business representatives. Students will also get details on how they can select a program and then sign up to attend GCI as part of their high school day when they enter 11th grade in the 2023-2024 school year.
The Genesee Career Institute offers 25+ programs, many of which are in high-demand fields, such as education, electrical and other construction trades, mechatronics, and manufacturing, as well as public safety. “We are fortunate to partner with an advisory group that consists of industry professionals, community partners, and parents that work together to help ensure the programs of the career center are relevant and continue to meet the needs of students and the community,” stated GCI Principal Julie Lublin. “Our Fire Academy and the Fire Training Center that is currently under construction, as well as our Teacher Cadet Academy, are great examples of our newest programs that came about by working with our advisory group and community partners.”
Operated by the Genesee Intermediate School District, the Genesee Career Institute provides thousands of Genesee County students with instruction in a variety of in-demand career fields. Join us on Thursday, February 16 to see how this free career and technical education center helps Genesee County students explore, experience, and excel in the careers they are planning after high school.
