Building & Grounds
Maintenance
Students in the Building &
Grounds Maintenance program at the Schoharie campus prepare for a range of
employment opportunities. The houses, apartment buildings, offices, schools,
hospitals, hotels, stores, parks, athletic fields and college campuses we use
every day have one thing in common: They all must be maintained. Building
& Grounds Maintenance students are exposed to a wide variety of skills and
are prepared for employment or further education.
Students develop skills in eight areas:
electricity, plumbing, carpentry, welding, landscaping, equipment maintenance
and repair, blueprint reading, and janitorial duties. Students work on
individual and group projects, and the program is designed to teach important
concepts such as responsibility, teamwork, proper workplace behavior, quality
and customer service.
Students completing this program may continue their studies
in the Construction Technology program or, if they have completed high
school, continue learning through the BOCES Adult Education program or at a
community college.
