BOCES honors CHOW with Business Spotlight Award
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Broome-Tioga BOCES is recognizing one of its business partners that gives its students real-life work experience.
The school's Career Development Center honored CHOW and its director Les Aylesworth with its Business Spotlight award.
Each year, BOCES recognizes 3 of its 400 business partners for assisting with job skills and placement. Currently seven students from the BOCES PALS and Oak Tree programs work in the CHOW warehouse which supplies individual food pantries across our area.
Career Development Center Principal Steve Moschak says Aylesworth and CHOW have given the students real-world opportunities.
'This is their classroom. Their classroom is a warehouse where they learn work-based learning, skills. They get to do hands-on activities. Every single day it's different. They come in and they're helping the community, and it really helps to build confidence in themselves to hopefully work in the future,' said Moschak.
Three of the students have even been able to achieve certification for operating forklifts in the warehouse.
BOCES also supports CHOW through participation in the Kids Can Build annual food drive.
