We partner with Greater Winston-Salem, Inc. in many ways, but a particularly meaningful part of that partnership came to light over the last academic year with the Senior Academy. This program helps high school students become career-ready. It uses mentorship to guide students, helps them develop skills like communication and résumé writing, and connects them with local professionals and opportunities. Students that complete the program gain pre-acceptance into Forsyth Tech to continue their education.
