What is the BRIDGE Act?
BRIDGE is an acronym for “Building Resourceful Individuals to Develop Georgia’s Economy”.
Ensures that Georgia’s 6th -12th grade students are aware of available career and postsecondary education options.
Your school can use the Georgia Career Information System (GCIS) and Georgia Career Information System Junior (GCIS Junior) to fulfill the requirements of the BRIDGE Act.

Portfolios

The Georgia Career Information Center can create all of your portfolios. Contact your GCIS Representative for details.
