The LoGuidice Educational Center recently welcomed hundreds of area high school students for a hands-on look at Career & Technical Education! 🧰🍰💇♀️
Students explored programs such as Automotive Body Repair, Automotive Technology, Conservation, Construction Technology, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Health Careers, Small Animal Science, Sports Conditioning & Exercise Science, and Welding/Metal Fabrication.
Visitors from 10 different school districts toured classrooms with the help of junior student ambassadors, spoke with instructors and current CTE students, and learned more about programs they are interested in pursuing.
Each visit began with an overview from LoGuidice School Counselor Alycia Lacki, who provided details about the programs offered through Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES.
