Thousands of reflection submissions were received and reviewed by the GELP Leadership Team and the GELP Awards Selection Committee.

“Award winners serve as inspirational leaders to GELP as they embody the core values of integrity, innovation, diversity, and community impact. We are so thankful to all our sponsors, campus partners, global speakers, and delegates who made the Global Virtual Summit for Career and Skill Development a huge success” stated Omar Karim, Founder and President of GELP.

The Global Summit for Career and Skill Development was held on June 24th, 2022. International delegates attended a half-day virtual conference where they engaged with leaders around the globe in an interactive experiential online environment. Over 1500 delegates across 15 countries in 4 different continents attended the conference. The Summit included 19 Global Speakers from around the world. This year’s summit theme was “Build your Story, share your Experience.” Award winners will receive a tuition prize and an invitation to the 2022 Marketplace for Career and Skill Development.
