A new catalog outlining the selection of affordable and interesting winter/spring courses being offered at the Ulster BOCES Adult Career Education Center has been released and is available on the Ulster BOCES website at www.ulsterboces.org/adult-ed. 

There are many exciting offerings to choose from in both career and personal development. Career Track classes include Welding, HVAC, Cosmetology, Healthcare Occupations, and more. Also, many interesting Community Education classes are included, such as the “Chef du Jour” cooking series, which are taught by Culinary Institute of America-trained chefs, and Health & Wellness classes designed to promote stress reduction. The popular course, “Basic Computer Series” is back to help community members develop computer literacy, and those who wish to learn the skills of angling may sign up for “Beginner Striper Fishing” in the spring.

With the holiday season fast approaching, gift certificates can also be purchased for cooking classes (such as “Mexican Delights,” “European Desserts,” “Ooo-la-la! French Macarons”), “Introduction to Knitting Series,” “Introduction to Pranayama, Meditation, & Yoga,” a Supervised Welding Lab, a weekly Cosmetology Clinic, and more!
