Description

Welcome to the World of Work presented by Forsyth County! This two-day event will welcome more than 5,000 Winston-Salem/Forsyth County 8th and 10th graders to explore career possibilities across a variety of industries. Students will have the opportunity to interact with businesses and educational institutions to learn more about the careers that interest them and how to get there.
