The Value of Career and Technical Education

  • Provides connections to satisfying careers.
    Erie 1 BOCES is connected to hundreds of area employers who have a vested interest in our programs. Students can participate in internships and job shadowing experiences while making connections with potential employers.
  • Helps students get a head start on college while saving money.
    Students can earn post-secondary credits in high school and enter college in advanced standings, saving money on tuition and books.
  • Connects academics to real-world success.
    Valuable hands-on opportunities can unlock those "aha" moments when students see connections between what they're learning and how they can apply those skills in the real world. These experiences, in turn, help students choose their college majors or career paths while earning industry experience and certifications.
