CTE Works 2023 from WSWHE BOCES and Saratoga Economic Development Corporation SEDC

On Wednesday, November 8, 2023, WSWHE BOCES along with sponsors Saratoga County and SEDC, hosted CTE Works! The one-day interactive career exploration event was held at the Saratoga Springs City Center.

Nearly 1700 students from 30 school districts were in attendance. Students from 8th to 12th grade, from school districts throughout the WSWHE BOCES service area were exposed to the world of work in the local region which showcased the myriad of career opportunities available right in their own backyard.

Close to 50 local employers were on hand to discuss pathways in their industries, what their company has to offer and showed students hands-on activities as examples of their work.

From SEDC President Greg Connors

"The Saratoga Economic Development Corporation, SEDC, is very proud to be a sponsor of the Career and Technical Education Workshop here at the Saratoga City Center today. We are standing here today at the intersection of education, jobs and economic opportunity.

I’m very proud that a vast majority of our SEDC member / stakeholders that are represented here today. They create the economic opportunity throughout the Capital Region. SEDC helps them in that effort. I think it’s gonna be a great opportunity to marry not only our member/stakeholders employers with the workers of tomorrow."
