The Business Alliance process is a collaborative partnership between business leaders throughout Wake County and the educators at our middle and high schools.

The career and life expertise of business leaders provides students with relevance between education and future careers.  Through career-related events, businesses can help prepare students to be future employees of Wake County.

The Holly Springs Business Alliance helps to implement School-to-Career initiatives at the school level. We work with many organizations, both large and small to meet the identified needs of our student populations. If you are interested in becoming a part of the Holly Springs Business Alliance or if you would like to work with us on a project, please contact:
