Many of the graduates are going on for additional education and others are going straight into the workforce thanks to the skills they learned and the connections they made at BOCES. 

Capital Region BOCES District Superintendent Lauren Gemmill praised the graduates and thanked the community that supported their efforts – from family members to educators to business and labor partners.

“You have gained practical skills that are not only valuable, but essential in today’s world,” Gemmill told the graduates.
