The event took place at the Oaks of Lanier College and Career Academy. This luncheon recognizes the highly prized and tremendously effective partnerships between local business and industry and our WBL Students. These business partners and mentors not only provide employment and internships for over 900 WBL students district wide, but also present a career opportunity that could change the trajectory of these students\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n<p>Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) Executive Director, Rhonda Samples, remarked that \u201cthe partnerships between WBL and local business and industry are vital to fostering and retaining talent here in Hall County. Creating the pipeline of young employees is the best investment companies can make in their workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each year, the HCSD Work-Based Learning team presents awards to business and industry partners. This year\u2018s recipients were The YMCA of Gainesville as the Existing Work-Based Learning Partner of the Year, Orbital Energy Service as the New Work-Based Learning Partner of the Year, Michelle Whitt, of ZF, as the Work-Based Learning Community Advocate of the Year and Rodney Pressley as the Work-Based Learning HCSD Advocate of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>The WBL team and Hall County School District look forward to continuing these and fostering new industry partnerships in the years to come.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mc3j989k-2f43e18b833e09cd79ef6e8821cc93d4\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mc3j989k-2f43e18b833e09cd79ef6e8821cc93d4 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mc3j989k-2f43e18b833e09cd79ef6e8821cc93d4 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mc3j989k-2f43e18b833e09cd79ef6e8821cc93d4 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-34423 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-34423 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image003.jpg\" alt='' title='image003'  height=\"960\" width=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image003.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image003-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image003-1030x773.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image003-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image003-705x529.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The HCSD Work-Based Learning (WBL) program held its annual Employer Appreciation Luncheon on Friday, May 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":34424,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
