Education

Global economic competition is confronting every sector of our economy and our workforce. As a result, strategic partnerships between the business community and local educators are vital to the success of new and expanding industry. Cumming and Forsyth County firmly believe that investments in educational infrastructure are the foundation for the success of the business community. The difficulties of assessing a churning job market, locating appropriate training, and finding the time and money to pursue skills development require cooperation and mutual support between the private sector and the local education system. By creating learning partnerships with the business community, Forsyth County’s education system is prepared to meet the challenges of a growing and vibrant community.
