BOCES Event will Link Students to Employers and Recruiters

SCHOHARIE – Dozens of businesses, labor unions and organizations will seek to solve their workforce shortages by recruiting high school students from the Career & Technical Education Center – Schoharie Campus during a June 6 event at SUNY Cobleskill.

Hosted by Capital Region BOCES, the June 6 career fair helps students find jobs and opens their eyes to the variety of careers their Career and Technical School education is preparing them for.

The event will run from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at SUNY Cobleskill’s Bouck Hall Ballroom, which is located at 104 Suffolk Circle, Cobleskill, N.Y. 12043

Brian Sano, Regional Director of National Grid, said BOCES is a critical partner to solving its workforce needs.

“The partnership between National Grid and BOCES is incredibly important,” Sano said while visiting one of the three state-of-the-art Electrical Trades program laboratories BOCES operates. “We are developing green-collar jobs—even in our gas division, we are looking at a non-carbon gas system—and we need programs like this to ensure we have the workforce necessary to accomplish those goals,” he said.
