The Career & Technical Center offers dozens of high-tech training programs that lead to in-demand jobs . Graduates leave the half-day program offered at our state-of-the-art training facility in Port Ewen ready for college and the workforce.
Through a blended approach of classroom instruction, hands-on learning, and work site assignments, students build specific skills related to a career area. Our experienced instructors bring extensive job service in their respective fields.
Ulster BOCES collaborates with local business and industry to ensure that each curriculum meets industry standards and that students are trained using cutting-edge technology and equipment.
Students leave the program prepared to enter the workforce, post-secondary technical schools, and colleges. Graduates not only know how a task should be done, they’ve actually done it.
Data from the United States Department of Education also shows that students with technical education backgrounds perform more successfully in college.
Ulster BOCES means different things to different people. For Rebecca “Becki” Davoli, it meant finding both her confidence and her passion, and led her to a position at the Live Free & Dye Salon, which was voted the winner of the 2022 Best Salon by Hudson Valley Magazine.
For Gary Wells, a 2014 Kingston High School graduate, the Ulster BOCES Criminal Justice program provided him with a path to become a sheriff’s detective—a position he hadn’t even considered when he was in high school.
Wallkill High School senior Connor Rhoades, who attends the Ulster BOCES Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics program, and his classmate Cameron France from Saugerties High School, are credited with creating a unique 3D prototype of a school bus door latch designed to ensure that school bus doors remain latched if air pressure dissipates from the bus.
Since graduating high school, Angelina Violante, a 2018 graduate of the Wallkill Central School District who attended the Ulster BOCES Career & Technical Center’s Culinary Arts program, has been following her passion for baking.
Ulster BOCES is proud to be a co-sponsor of the Mid-Hudson Valley Leadership Day (MHVLD) conference. This event is dedicated to both educating and inspiring early childhood professionals, including directors, owners, and administrators of daycare centers.
