Bill > A07508

This bill enacts the Community College and BOCES Partnership Act, which creates a high technology manufacturing training program to explore the benefits of educational partnerships between community colleges and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES). The key provisions include: - Authorizing the State University of New York (SUNY) and the Department of Education to establish the program, which will provide capital grants to participating community colleges for manufacturing equipment to assist BOCES students in meeting qualifications for employment in the high-tech manufacturing sector. - Requiring SUNY to select community college and BOCES partnerships through an application process and to withdraw support if the partnership is not complying with program conditions. - Authorizing participating community colleges to offer college-level academic credits to BOCES students in the program. - Directing SUNY to conduct a study in the program's second year to assess its effectiveness in preparing BOCES students for the high-tech manufacturing workforce and whether further state investment is appropriate.
