The achievements of 14 Career and Technical Education seniors, and the educational contributions of 11 employers from the MOBOCES region were celebrated on Wednesday, June 5.
The students, and the valued community partners that oversee their internships, were honored as part of the annual CTE Signing Day celebration held in the Rossetti Courtyard.
CTE Signing Day is an event that highlights seniors who have been offered immediate employment from the businesses where they completed their senior year internships. The students commemorate that special occasion by presenting their internship mentors with a framed certificate of appreciation, along with a small token of gratitude on behalf of Madison-Oneida BOCES.
The event celebrates the vital role our internship partners play in educating our students, and in preparing them to be #CollegeAndCareerReady.
Six school districts were represented among the graduating seniors honored.
