Career Week is an exception to the typical ‘no students allowed in the hallways during class’ rule at Dutchess BOCES’ Career and Technical Institute. Throughout the week, industry partners set up tables in the halls and conference center and visited classrooms to speak with students about their company or agency and share career advice.
This November, four Dutchess BOCES SkillsUSA officers attended the Fall Leadership Conference in Albany, where they deepened their knowledge of Skills, made new connections and prepared to be leaders in their school community.
Though Dutchess BOCES students had the recent Superintendent Conference day off, plenty of learning was happening on campus. Topics specific to our schools and staff positions were covered throughout the day.
When a student acts out, staff may not know why, but there are ways to help support the student. Several sessions during the recent Superintendent’s Conference Day provided insights, tips and instruction on how staff can help in such situations.
CTI students who participated in SkillsUSA last year encouraged their peers to do the same following recent information sessions about the program, which empowers students to become skilled professionals, career-ready leaders and responsible community members.
