SCHOHARIE – More than 60 high school sophomores from Cobleskill-Richmondville and Guilderland learned on Jan. 30 about the variety of careers they can prepare for at the Capital Region BOCES Career and Technical Education Center - Schoharie Campus.
The students tried their hands at everything from cooking and baking to curling hair, wiring and more while meeting current students and faculty and gaining insight into the benefits of a career and technical education (CTE).
Some of the interested students were looking checking out career options while others already know what they want to do and want the competitive edge as they looked at the various programs ranging from culinary to heavy equipment to cosmetology offered at the campus.
“I am exploring career opportunities and BOCES is a different way to learn that interests me,” said Serena Holliday, a Cobleskill student, as she dusted for fingerprints on a bottle in the Criminal Justice program lab.
For Guilderland’s Sadie Sefcovic-Eisenhardt, the culinary arts seem to be a nature choice.
“I enjoy cooking and it helps me cope with things so I think it may be a good career,” she said.
Enrollment is currently underway for the 2024-25 school year. For more information on career and technical school programs, go to https://www.capitalregionboces.org/career-technical-education/courses-programs/.
