Why More Companies are Investing in Upskilling

Is there a business case to be made for employee education reimbursement and funding for professional development? Here are three reasons why upskilling is a worthwhile venture for both employees and employers.

Gaia granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount, up to an additional 350,000 shares of Class A common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. The sale closes March 26.

Los Angeles-based B. Riley FBR Inc. is acting as the sole book-running manager for the offering. Lake Street Capital Markets in Minneapolis will serve as lead manager, and Dougherty & Co. in Minneapolis will serve as co-manager for the offering. Roth Capital Partners based in Newport Beach, Calif., advised Gaia.
