WINSTON-SALEM (March 17, 2022) – One of the reasons they’re called community colleges is they provide precisely the training that local employers – and employees – need.

“At Forsyth Technical Community College, that means we work with employers like Reynolds American,” President Janet Spriggs says in the accompanying video.

“We provide for them education – training for their workers in whatever area they need that support … customized training just for them.”

For example, Forsyth Tech has helped Reynolds managers with “crucial-conversations” training – how to have difficult conversations with employees – as well as instruction as varied as leadership training and safety training.

“We focus on who our employers are, and then what kinds of customized skills they need their workforce to have – and we provide it, usually, at their locations for them,” Spriggs says.

That’s pretty hard to beat.
