The Anson Future Workforce Initiative, a partnership between the Anson County Chamber of Commerce, Anson County Schools, and Our Future in UNiSON, has successfully completed its first cohort of business partners for the school year — helping to build a stronger, more connected local workforce pipeline.

Through this initiative, 8th grade students at Anson Middle School explored hands-on learning opportunities with local employers:
• Triangle Brick – understanding brick production and skilled trades
• Anson County Government – applying drones in public service
• Loba-Wakol – learning about adhesives and manufacturing careers
• Uwharrie Bank – exploring budgeting, finance, and banking pathways

Together, these experiences are connecting classroom learning to real-world careers — inspiring students to see their future right here in Anson County.

Big thanks to Uwharrie Bank's Amanda McFayden and Tina Townsend for an awesome financial literacy presentation to our 8th graders at Anson Middle School!

They sparked lively discussions with questions such as "How would you spend $100?" and "Needs vs. wants," then dove into a fun, hands-on budgeting activity using beans—the kids were engaged and learning key money skills!

Grateful for these community partners making a real impact. This marks the last of 4 businesses to present at Anson Middle School as part of the Anson Future Workforce Development Initiative—a collaboration between Anson County Schools, the Anson Chamber of Commerce, and Our Future in UNiSON.
