Three Pine Bush High School students who attend Orange Ulster BOCES Career and Technical Education (CTE) program earned medals at the SkillsUSA regional competition recently:

• Craig Vanderkooy –  first place, auto collision
• Travis Coleman –  second place, plumbing
• Camryn Szabo – third place, animal careers

These students will advance to the state competition.

Nearly 200 students from high schools and BOCES throughout the Hudson Valley competed in 30 events ranging from advertising design to welding.

 

SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, educators, and industry working together to create a skilled workforce of the future.  SkillsUSA is a national student organization that teaches leadership and employability skills to help students succeed. The goal is that through involvement in SkillsUSA, students will develop personal, workplace and technical skills that will connect them to career success. SkillsUSA members have the opportunity to compete in their area competition to hone their skills in their journey to the state competition and for the top winners to go to nationals.

 

 

Congratulations to Craig, Travis and Camryn! Great Job!
