Putnam-Westchester BOCES Practical Nursing Program

In Career and Technical Education, Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES is the first in New York State to create Career Academies, which integrate academics with technical training. What’s more, we are also the first to undergo a national certification process for these Career Academies; we’re extremely proud of the fact that all eight of our Career Academies received a “Distinguished” rating in all categories from the national certification team!
