BOCES CTE Students Showcase Career Skills at New York
State Competition
Career and
Technical Education students from BOCES put their skills and knowledge to
the test against fellow students from all across
New York State, competing in the 2024 NYS SkillsUSA Leadership and Skills
Championship at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse April 24-26. In
all, twelve students won gold, silver, and bronze medals in nine different
competitions.
Seventy-three
students from the Charles H. Bohlen, Jr. Technical Center in Watertown and
eleven students from the Howard G. Sackett Technical Center in Glenfield
took part in the competition. Six of the first place, gold medal winning
students will be able to compete at the SkillsUSA Nationals, June 24-28 in
Atlanta, GA. They are Star Hutcheon from LaFargeville,
Matthew Mason from Thousand Islands, Jaden Brapoh
from Watertown, Alexia Mynch from LaFargeville,
and Trent Smith from Watertown. All attend the Bohlen Technical Center.
Also attending
Nationals will be Logan Petersen from IHC. Logan finished second in the
Advertising Design competition, but the 1st place winner is unable to
attend the Nationals, allowing for Logan to take
their place and represent New York State. Logan also attends the Bohlen
Technical Center.
Marina Munn from
South Lewis and the Sackett Center took first place in the Cake Decorating
competition. Unfortunately, that competition is not offered at the
Nationals.
SkillsUSA is a
partnership of students, teachers and industry representatives working
together to ensure America has a skilled workforce. It is a national
membership organization serving middle school, high school
and college/post-secondary students. Participating students are preparing
for careers in trade, technical and skilled service occupations.
Each spring,
Career & Technical Education students from across New York State gather
to compete against each other in various events involving trade skills,
ranging from carpentry to computers. The judges in many of these
competitions are those who work in that specific field or trade.
