Business Alliance

The Wake Forest Business Alliance is a collaboration of business, community, and school leaders committed to helping students to be career, college, and citizenship ready.

Mission

The Mission of the Business Alliance is to link the resources from community stakeholders (businesses, educators, parents and other community members) to enhance the school-to-career transition of every student, as they become college, career and citizenship ready in their future leadership roles. 

Benefits of Membership

The immediate result of this partnership is to help prepare every student to make responsible, productive career choices, by assisting with school-based and work-based activities.  The end result is preparing students for a career of their choice, ultimately benefiting the employers within the community.  Our future workforce needs YOU!
