SARATOGA — On Tuesday, October 4, local industry partners and Washington-Saratoga-Warren-Hamilton-Essex (WSWHE BOCES) will host CTE Works! at the Saratoga Springs City Center. CTE Works! brings 8th and 9th graders from school districts throughout the WSWHE BOCES service area to a one-day interactive career exploration event. The event exposes students to the world of work in our region and attempts to show students the career opportunities available right in their own backyard. Local employers will be on hand to discuss the pathways in their industries, what they have to offer and provide interactive activities that are examples of their work.
“It is critically important that young people meet local industry partners, experience a bit of what they do and learn about the outstanding opportunities they can have working right here in their own city or town. We encourage these interactions. CTE Works! is one of many experiences we offer that allows students to figure out what they like to do, what they want to do and what they dream they can do in the future,” said Principal for Innovative Programs at WSWHE BOCES and CTE Works! Committee Member, Michelle Maddalla.
The CTE Works! expo is designed to highlight careers throughout the region, including but not limited to:
Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources; Architecture & Construction; Arts, A/V Technology & Communications; Business, Management & Administration; Education & Training; Finance; Government & Public Administration; Health Sciences; Hospitality & Tourism; Human Services; Information Technology; Law, Public Safety, Corrections & Security; Manufacturing; Marketing; Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics; Transportation, Distribution & Logistics and more.
