Trade Talk Hosted by Forsyth County Chamber

The local county chamber’s Trade Talks event provides a valuable platform for high school students to engage directly with industry professionals and local businesses. By attending these sessions, sophomores, juniors, and seniors can explore hands-on career pathways in skilled trades, public safety, and other alternative sectors. It is crucial for young adults to learn about the trades early on because it exposes them to lucrative, in-demand careers outside the traditional four-year college track while helping local employers build a strong future talent pipeline. Ultimately, participating in these local initiatives empowers students to make informed decisions about their futures and secures meaningful work opportunities right within their own community.
