Apprenticeship Success!



By Apprenticeship Director Sommer Rabideau


Six Herkimer BOCES CTE seniors just started a new pre-apprenticeship program with local businesses, giving them real hands-on experience and a head start in their careers.


Huge shoutout to the students, the partnering companies, and everyone at BOCES who helped make this opportunity possible.


Great things happen when schools and local employers work together!
