February 28, 2019Seeing How a BOCES Education Measures Up
Shenendehowa High School student Breanna Woodworth shows Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk (RCS) Lavine Nieves how to properly measure ingredients during Nieve’s visit to the Capital Region BOCES Career and Technical School Albany campus on Tuesday. Nieves was one of a couple of dozen RCS students to explore programs ranging from culinary to electrical trades to diesel technology.
Throughout February and March, Capital Region BOCES Career and Technical School will open the doors to its three campuses to hundreds of students from nearly two-dozen area school districts as the students learn about the multitude of prospective careers – from telecommunication and network cabling to engineering tech and cosmetology – that going to BOCES could afford them. Once an education path for students only seeking vocational skills, career and technical education is now a pathway for students looking to build career skills, get a start on their college education or just learn a life skill that will allow them pay for college. At Capital Region BOCES Career and Technical School, more than 70 percent of high school students pursue higher education, while many others directly enter the workforce with a highly technical skill set such as cooking, network cabling or operating heavy equipment.
High school sophomores and juniors interested in Capital Region BOCES are encouraged to visit the website https://www.capitalregionboces.org/career-technical-education/ and contact their school district counselor.
