Dutchess BOCES

Dutchess BOCES Career and Technical Institute’s Security and Law program has updated the curriculum to better reflect issues in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Instructor, Frank Kolarik created a plan to integrate these values into the curriculum with help from BOCES academic teachers.

Students at Dutchess BOCES’ Salt Point Center (SPC) honored our country’s veterans with colorful handwritten cards and learned about veterans’ importance. BOCES Board Member and Presiding Officer of the Poughkeepsie Jewish War Veterans Rob Rubin collected the cards, which he personally delivered to local veterans during the Nov. 11 ceremony at the Dutchess County War Memorial in Poughkeepsie.

Dutchess BOCES administrators and representatives from various Dutchess County organizations gathered together on October 19th at the Career Technical Institute (CTI) to discuss ways to expand and promote workforce development.

Help wanted signs are everywhere.  Diners, gas stations, fast food restaurants, and department stores are all looking for new employees.
