students on podium

Orleans/Niagara BOCES students brought home many medals at the New York State SkillsUSA Leadership and Skills Championships last week in Syracuse, New York.  It was an incredible opportunity for students to showcase their talents and skills as they competed against other career and technical education students from across the state and participated in leadership workshops. 

SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled workforce.  Their mission is to empower its members to become world-class workers, leaders and responsible American citizens.  Gold medalists have the option of competing at the national level at the world’s largest gathering of America’s future skilled workforce in Atlanta, Georgia at the end of June.
