Students in the inaugural Genesee Valley Pre-Apprenticeship Boot Camp graduated Thursday, with four students preparing to enter full apprenticeship programs and a fifth heading to a technician training program.
Students split their days at the boot camp’s six-week electro-mechanical technician training program between on-the-job training at local employers and hands-on training on Amatrol equipment in the Genesee Valley BOCES expanding electro-mechanical lab.
The boot camp is supported from the Genesee Valley BOCES, Rochester Technology Manufacturers Association, Finger Lakes Youth Apprenticeship Program, SUNY Genesee Community College, American Apprenticeship Initiative of Western New York, GLOW Workforce Development Board, Genesee County Economic Development Center, and other partners.
