Surry-Yadkin Works

What We Do
By joining forces with Surry Community College, we are connecting workplaces to the classroom to prepare students for careers in the real world. Working with business partners, we will prepare the next generation of the American workforce.
We are a multifaceted work-based learning program that includes opportunities for pre-apprenticeships, apprenticeships, job shadowing, business/education engagement, and more! 

Our Mission
Elkin City Schools, Mount Airy City Schools, Surry County Schools, and Yadkin County Schools are working together with the assistance of Surry Community College to support the economic vitality of our region by matching students to meet the needs of the community with business partners. Together we will prepare students for work-based learning, assist with industry-recognized credentials, and encourage enrollment in Career & Technical high school and college courses. In addition, we will provide mutually beneficial links between students and employers with the goal of increasing skilled workers in our community.
