Testimonials
“Having a representative form a variety of colleges and insurance affiliates gave our employees many options to consider for their education and development needs.”
Being stretched thin by a heavy workload can make setting up something like a college fair frustrating. Handing over the set-up to GPAcu was convenient and allowed me to continue my regular duties.” A fair “shows our employees that our company supports continuing education and personal development.”

"A number of employees made a point to tell me how pleased they were with the fair. The professionalism and enthusiasm of the representatives was evident. The GPAcu coordinator was easy to work with. The fair coordinators cooperated to seamlessly integrate the fair into our work day."
L.V., Facilities Manager, The Rohm and Haas Company.
Note: This employer has held college fairs at three locations
“Each university was properly represented with enough information for our employees to make the best decision for themselves and/or their family and friends. We only had to provide the space; the representatives of the consortium controlled everything else. It was most helpful to all of us in the Human Resources department, not to have to worry about the set-up or break down of the education fair. UPS emphasizes higher education, not only for a more erudite employee, but also to further develop a diverse and learned individual."
Michelle Brooks, UPS
“Because there were multiple colleges in attendance it provided an opportunity for employees to find schools close to work and home. It also gave the allowed employees to ask specific questions based on what their needs were. Many employees, like myself, find it time consuming to search the internet, contact colleges, etc... and having a group together that can easily be accessed during lunch, breaks etc... was very convenient.”
