• The West Cary Business Alliance

      The Business Alliance is a collaborative partnership between business leaders throughout the community and educators at our area middle schools and high schools. The mission of the business alliance is to provide support and workplace realities for teachers and students and to be catalysts for engaging business and community organizations to prepare all students to be career-focused and globally competitive. The career and life expertise of business leaders provides students with the relevancy between education and future careers. School-based business alliances meet periodically throughout the year to develop action steps towards meeting the goals aligned with School Improvement Plans.

      The West Cary Business Alliance seeks to link the resources of community stakeholders to enhance the School-to-Career transition of every student, as they become responsible, productive citizens and leaders within the community.
