• 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

    To create a link between our business community and our school community.  Through this connection, business partners can enhance the School-to-Career transition of every student, as they become responsible, productive citizens and leaders within the community.  

    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!
