If the winner chooses to attend the Careers Fair, she/he will be accompanied by a GPET staff member and will receive training on the correct information to present to potential AGPT applicants (e.g eligiblity requirements, the application and selection process). Airfares, accommodation and travel expenses will be funded by GPET.
