Capital Region BOCES students are getting professional experience working for the New York State Senate.

The Digital Media Design students are taking part in work-based learning at the Senate Production Shop.
The shop is the graphics and printing department for the Senate.

“It’s a great opportunity to learn a variety of operations related to the industry,” said William Teal, a senior from Shenendehowa.

“The experience is giving me an inside look at several different professional areas of graphic design and printing,” said Rachel Squadere, a senior from Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk.

More than 300 businesses team up with Capital Region BOCES, placing students in 80 worksites across the area.
