Building Careers & Opportunity
The Future-Ready Workforce Alliance is a collaborative effort uniting education, business, and community partners to tackle one of the region’s most urgent challenges — the shortage of skilled workers.
Through the Alliance, students, jobseekers, and current employees will have access to customized, flexible education pathways that combine classroom learning with real-world experience. This approach allows participants to start working quickly, continue their education while employed, and advance their careers over time. Employers benefit by developing and retaining a skilled, reliable workforce — a solution designed to meet the evolving needs of business and industry.
Participants in the Future-Ready Workforce Alliance can be students, jobseekers and current employees of participating companies.
Forsyth Tech is currently accepting new employer partners in the Alliance.
Requirements
Requirements for participants vary by employer partner.
