November 11, 2026
The Rotary Club of Mauldin will highlight local workforce development and student career readiness at its upcoming lunch meeting on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, spotlighting partnership opportunities between area businesses and Greenville County high school students.
The meeting will take place at noon inside the Mauldin Cultural Center, located at 101 E. Butler Road in Mauldin.
The featured guest speaker will be Alex Fagan, Executive Director of LaunchGVL—an initiative that bridges the gap between the classroom and the local economy by matching high school students with paid, work-based internship opportunities across diverse Upstate industries. Through these placements, students gain hands-on professional experience to better prepare them for post-secondary education and future careers, while local companies build direct pipelines to emerging local talent.
Rotary Club President Bob Stouffer extended a special invitation to Greenville-area employers, business owners, and school administrators to attend the session and learn how the program operates.
“This is a wonderful organization which could connect employers with prospective employees,” Stouffer said.
A complimentary lunch will be provided for attendees. Due to catering arrangements, organizers request that all guests submit an RSVP no later than Friday, November 13, 2026.
To reserve a seat, attendees can contact Bob Stouffer via email at [email protected]. Additional details regarding the student internship initiative can be found online at launchgvl.org.
