Shkolla fillore

The Utica City School District helps students find their career path by starting early with STEM education. Through partnerships with local businesses, the district introduces STEM concepts to students from kindergarten through second grade with hands-on activities, such as building with LEGOs and using Dash Robots.

Students discover that exciting STEM careers are right here in our own community. Some of the leading partnerships are with local industry sponsors like Indium, Giotto Enterprises, National Grid, Wolfspeed, and Trenton Technology.

Innovative programs like the ABCs of STEM kits and the Student of the Week initiative bring these concepts into students' homes. These experiences spark curiosity and build a strong foundation for future learning in middle and high school CTE (Career and Technical Education) programs.

CTE is helping our junior Raiders build a strong foundation for lifelong learning and discovery.

 

Shkolla e mesme

In middle school, students in the Utica City School District explore new opportunities through hands-on, project-based learning. Here learning isn't just about knowledge, it is about taking the first steps toward a future full of possibility.

Whether it's coding and robotics in the lab, experimenting with FANUC robotic arms, or seeing how food grows on the hydroponic grow wall, they are experiencing education in a cutting edge form.

Events such as the STEM Expo at SUNY Poly give students a look at all 12 career pathways and a preview of the new Proctor Career and Technical Education Center opportunities. These experiences help students see how their learning connects to future options, while also building confidence.

Every class is designed to spark interest, giving students the chance to try, create, and discover. This pathway is part of a journey opening their eyes to new possibilities and giving them a glimpse of what awaits them at the new Proctor Career and Technical Education Center.

 

Shkolla e mesme

Në Shkollën e Mesme Proctor, e ardhmja është tani. Grabitësit krijojnë, transformojnë dhe fuqizojnë. Në Utica Qendra e re e Karrierës dhe Arsimit Teknik, mundësia takon mundësinë.

Gjatë dy viteve të fundit, Utica Distrikti Shkollor i Qytetit ka shfrytëzuar një mundësi për të punuar me mbi 250 partnerë për të ndihmuar në krijimin e shtigjeve që përfshihen në Qendrën e Karrierës dhe Arsimit Teknik. Mbi 250 biznese lokale, agjenci qeveritare dhe organizata arsimore u bashkuan për të hartuar 12 shtigje karriere që përputhen me nevojat e komunitetit.

Ky program ndërtohet mbi qasjen e distriktit K-12, ku nxënësit fitojnë ndërgjegjësim në shkollën fillore dhe eksplorojnë mundësitë e karrierës në shkollën e mesme. Deri në shkollën e mesme, ata kanë një bazë të fortë për të marrë një vendim të informuar në lidhje me të ardhmen e tyre. Nxënësit gjithashtu mund të marrin pjesë në përvoja mësimore jashtë kampusit, të bazuara në punë, që përputhen me rrugën e tyre të zgjedhur.

The CTE Center aims to positively impact the city by helping students develop skills, explore different career paths, and create a successful future. The district is a leader in this work, aligning with New York State expectations for public education and empowering every student to succeed.

This initiative of a new C.T.E. wing addition to Proctor High School, shines a light on the Utica City School District as a leader in this work. At the Utica City School District's Career and Technical Education Center, opportunities are created, futures are transformed, and students are empowered to succeed.
