Dear Parents/ Guardians:
Welcome to the Center for Career Services! Our main goal is to prepare students for the world of work and/or post-secondary education. Students are provided with a variety of project-based learning experiences as well as authentic work opportunities through their chosen programs of study and our Work-Based Learning Department. These experiences help in creating well-rounded students who are prepared to excel in the 21st century workplace.
We invite you to peruse our program offerings linked below, both those in which you may have a student enrolled and others to gain a deeper understanding of the depth and breadth of industry-informed and marketable skills training and preparation we provide. Our instructors are experts in their respective fields and infuse their curricula with real-world experience and practical training.
Another important focus for the Center for Career Services’ staff is to provide social and emotional support to all our students. This support is important as our students transition into the workforce and/or post-secondary education. The Guidance team and school social worker support students to ensure these services are delivered.
We are pleased that students from so many of our SWBOCES-region component districts take advantage of the opportunities our programs offer. Please reach out to us any time you have a question or concern.
Sincerely,
Dahlia Jackson, Director
Jaclyn De Lao, Principal
Philip Donohue, Assistant Principal
