This fall, BKW senior Angelina Carpenter will begin her culinary journey at The Culinary Institute of America (CIA).
“I am really excited for the experience and to meet new people,” she said. “This has been a dream of mine.”
Ms. Carpenter gets to chase her dream because of her training at Capital Region BOCES. Carpenter is among more than 120 students from two-dozen school districts enrolled in the Capital Region BOCES Culinary Arts and Hospitality Technology program this school year.
Students in the two-year program learn the skills necessary to enter the workforce as a chef or pursue additional training in college. Graduates work in restaurants and resorts around the region and beyond, run their own establishments, and even prepare food for professional sporting events.
“I am really excited for the experience and to meet new people,” she said. “This has been a dream of mine.” Carpenter credits BOCES with helping her be ready to head to one of the top culinary institutions in the world.
“BOCES has taught me a lot and helped me to grow a lot. It’s been a really good experience,” she said.
