Every year, GHEI hosts a Career Opportunity Lecture Series (COLS) for junior high students. Beginning with small discussion groups led by GHEI's volunteer teachers, the students leanred about careers, job skills, and education options. During the afternoon, local professionals spoke to the students, motivating them to stay in school and pursue the careers of their choice:
