Toyota, Kanawha County Schools announce inaugural class of 4T Academy

5/17/2022

Nearly two dozen students from across Kanawha County have been selected to be part of West Virginia’s first Toyota 4T Academy.

The academy is a two-year education and manufacturing program that introduces high school juniors and seniors to a career in manufacturing. Twenty-two students signed the dotted line and put on Toyota 4T Academy hats in front of friends and family recently in Charleston.

The inaugural class will begin in the 2022-2023 school year. Students will participate in a classroom learning module at the school and then transition to the plant, working alongside Toyota’s employees. The 4T Academy was developed locally via a collaborative effort with partners from across the education spectrum including Kanawha County Schools, The Education Alliance, and Purdue University’s Indiana Manufacturing Competitiveness Center.
