FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 2, 2014

COMPANY: General Employment Enterprises, Inc.

General Employment Enterprises, Inc. Advances Towards Next Phase in its Growth Strategy as 2015 Fiscal Year Begins

General Employment Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE MKT: JOB) (the “Company”) advances towards the next phase of its future growth strategy as the Company enters the beginning of its 2015 Fiscal Year.

Following the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Andrew Norstrud, Chief Executive Officer of General Employment, commented, “We have met a number of key internal milestones in the last year that have allowed us to build a solid foundation for future growth. We are closer than ever to achieving our long-term vision and truly moving this organization forward.”

Through the course of its 2014 Fiscal Year, the Company focused on stabilizing its financial reporting in addition to securing vital financing from its lending partners while simultaneously eliminating unnecessary administrative expenses. Additionally, the Company has significantly updated its infrastructure and implemented a leading edge, cloud-based technology platform that has transformed and streamlined internal business processes while powering the Company’s core talent acquisition strategy. Furthermore, the Company has placed significant emphasis and effort on expanding its core management team and enhancing its board with industry luminaries and other talented executives.

Finally, General Employment’s recent agreement with Pivot Companies, LLC, allows the Company to enhance its traditional suite of offerings with full service PEO and HRO solutions. This acquisition brings the Company closer to the goal of meeting all the needs of the growing staffing industry and also opens the door to future opportunities for organic growth and further strategic acquisitions.

Mr. Norstrud added, “This last year we’ve substantially set the stage for the next, prosperous phase of our journey. This Company has been in business for over 120 years, and I’m appreciative of the Board’s support and trust while we work earnestly on behalf of our exceptional employees, shareholders and partners.”
