CTE Bulletin

On September 29, students in the Advertising Design/Multimedia Productions CTE program participated in a tie dye lesson. Students made their own shirts and then learned about mixing colors as they tie dyed them.

On September 27, the OHM BOCES Career and Technical Education Center welcomed Bailey’s Daily Pet Care into the Animal Science classroom. Bailey Roberts and Alexa Jassak (Whitesboro CSD ’19) spoke with current students about their own journeys in animal care, from being students in the Animal Science program to working together today.

Roberts is the owner of Bailey's Daily Pet Care, which she runs with business partner and groomer Jassak. After both completed the Animal Science program earning mastery with distinction, Jassak went on to attend Golden Paws Pet Styling Academy and Roberts studied under master groomers, helping lead her to the competition for her groomer’s certificate.

Roberts and Jassak showed off their grooming skills with an “extreme grooming” presentation on Robbie the Poodle!

The Multi-Occupation students visited the Oneida County Solid Waste Authority on Oct. 3. They learned about the sorting process for recyclable materials and where the items go after they are sorted. They also learned about where the garbage goes once it leaves their home. It was loud and somewhat smelly, but they enjoyed it overall.

Mohawk Valley Community College hosted a Criminal Justice Expo Day on Wednesday, October 18 in the Jorgensen Center on the Utica campus. Our Criminal Justice seniors had the opportunity to speak directly with representatives from numerous state and local criminal justice and emergency preparedness agencies. They also participated in several interactive demonstrations.

CTE is welcoming a familiar face to serve in the principal role. Mr. Hoover was previously the Career Tech Assistant Principal. Prior to joining CTE, Mr. Hoover was a social studies teacher for eleven years, including four years in the P-TECH OHM program.

CTE would like to welcome back Ms. Dunn, the new CTE Assistant Principal. Ms. Dunn is returning to OHM BOCES after many years in special education. Ms. Dunn previously served as the principal of Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Jonesville Jr./Sr. High School.

The Career and Technical Education Center programs focus on preparing students for employment, careers or post-secondary education through the development of technical and 21st century skills. Working with state-of-the-art equipment, students apply theory and knowledge to a wide range of real life work assignments in shops and laboratories. In addition to technical skills, students learn critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, communication, positive employment attitudes, job seeking skills, familiarization with related career opportunities and college readiness.
