Held in Grand Rapids, MI, the event features a specially designed 1-hour "Student Program" that will begin promptly at 10:30 a.m. and will include an introduction to the Green Industry and its career opportunities. Industry and Educational Representatives will provide insight on their Green Industry careers and experiences, and will be available to answer any student questions.

This is a great chance for your students to gain practice in interacting in a professional environment.
