Attending university and paying tuition fees. Winston-Salem-Forsyth County Schools students are exploring their future careers this week. The district is working with Greater Winston-Salem Inc. for this two-day event called World of Work. More than 5,000 students in grades 8 and 10 will visit the LJVM Coliseum over the next few days to explore a variety of career opportunities at the elementary school. We’re just starting to recognize careers, and once we’re in middle school, we let them explore what they’re interested in. They do career assessments to determine what I’m interested in, so I can start preparing for that from high school and sophomore year onwards.
