Learning isn’t just happening in the classroom for two BOCES 2 CTE students. Dental Assisting student Payal Gajmer (Churchville-Chili) and Medical Laboratory Assisting and Phlebotomy student Savannah Wehner (Spencerport) have been honing their leadership skills through state-level SkillsUSA positions. Gajmer and Wehner serve as New York State Reporter and New York Area 1 Vice President, respectively.
The BOCES 2 CTE duo has invested time and dedication to learning the SkillsUSA organization and further developing their leadership abilities, including sessions at the national conference this past spring and a week-long training over the summer. In September, they traveled to Washington, D.C. to advocate for CTE through meetings with elected officials. In November, Wehner and Gajmer assisted in facilitating the SkillsUSA Fall Leadership Conference for 400 participants.
