Careers in the Skilled Trades
CTE Prepares Students to Fill Talent Shortages
There are many businesses and industries today that simply can't find skilled workers to fill the jobs they have. These include jobs that pay very well, are interesting, challenging, and offer the opportunity to have a long and successful career.
WSWHE BOCES Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs prepare high school students for these jobs that employers are trying to full — both locally and nationally. While many young people currently are finding it difficult to move forward with their careers, CTE students find themselves in demand. We are committed to making a positive difference in their lives, by providing a curriculum that prepares them to earn national and state industry certifications, while also providing the opportunity to have real work experiences in business and industry.
