For the high school students, there are pathways to the skilled trades with the help of the Laborers Local 190 Union.
Superintendent of schools John Carmello said, “We have graduates every year that go to some of the top colleges in the country, Ivy League- but it’s not everybody and there’s a great living to be made in these labor unions.”
Gwennan Booth, a representative from NYS Laborers-Employers Cooperation Education Trust said, “Our goal of working with Kidz First and the school district is to educate students about entering the trades and entering that career path. there’s a place in our union and a job site for everyone.”
