BOCES by the Numbers BOCES across New York State have provided shared educational programs and services to school districts for 75 years. With BOCES as a partner, school districts can strategically deploy shared programs that serve students from all districts regardless of their enrollment, income, or size of the tax base. Every year the BOCES of New York State compiles data to showcase the successes of BOCES students, school districts, and programs. We are proud to share the BOCES by the numbers for the 2021-22 school year. To view the 2021-2022 report visit https://boces.org/infographics/by-the-numbers/
BOCES Partners with County to Expand Workforce Earlier this year, BOCES started working with Sullivan County’s Center for Workforce Development (CWD) to create a construction training pilot to train adult residents in basic carpentry skills. Through this partnership, up to 15 local residents who want to gain basic carpentry skills can do so for free. This nine-week program starting on April 10, will be held every Monday and Wednesday from 5:30-9 p.m. at the Rubin Pollack Education Center on Ferndale-Loomis Road in Liberty. Each week the BOCES instructor will focus on a different aspect of the construction trades: tools, safety, materials, framing, flooring, ceilings, decks, stairs, building inspections, and more. In the final week, the CWD will teach participants how to build a great resumé and find jobs. To find out more or to sign up, contact the Center for Workforce Development at 845-794-3340 or sccwd@sullivanny.us.
