Jefferson Lewis Boces

Some schools provide an education, but skimp on many of the skills that ensure that a student will become successful in life. Other schools do it all, like Jefferson Lewis BOCES in Watertown, New York. Academics at the school cover adult education and career programs. The adult education programs mostly cover workforce preparation subjects such as Architectural Drafting, Auto Technology, Building Maintenance, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Early Childhood Education, Medical Careers, Practical Nursing, Small Animal Care, GED, and Work Skills. The career programs prepare students for the workforce with technical instruction provided by dedicated professors and hands-on experience with on-site work and job placement. The financial aid office lists funding agencies, like The Work Place and Vocational & Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities, which will help pay for tuition, books, and other educational expenses for students who qualify. Eligible students may also receive loans, grants, scholarships, the Montgomery GI Bill, and funding for military spouses.
