Looking for a New Career Path? Erie 1 BOCES Has an Opportunity for You

If you're between jobs, considering a career change, or simply looking for a way to increase your earning potential, an upcoming event in Cheektowaga may be worth adding to your calendar.

Erie 1 BOCES Workforce Development is hosting an Information and Registration Day on June 26 for individuals interested in free workforce training programs. The event is aimed at adults who may have recently lost employment, experienced a reduction in household income, or are looking for a more stable career path.

The information session will introduce attendees to training opportunities in plumbing and CNC machining, two industries that continue to offer employment opportunities throughout Western New York and beyond.

For many people, returning to school isn't always realistic. Workforce development programs like these provide a different option. Participants can gain hands-on experience, industry knowledge, and certifications without committing to a traditional degree program.

As employers continue to search for skilled workers in the trades and manufacturing sectors, programs like this help connect local residents with opportunities that can lead directly to employment.

The event also gives prospective participants the chance to ask questions, learn about eligibility requirements, and determine whether one of the available pathways aligns with their goals.
