Will Shahen, a Berne-Know-Westerlo junior, guided by longtime Construction/Heavy Equipment instructor Matt Millard, prepares to operate a Bobcat front loader during the third day of classes at Capital Region BOCES last week. “My brother went through this program and I went to the open house and I got interested in it so I am here. I want to see where it takes me,” said Shahen, one of about 70 students from nearly a dozen school districts enrolled in the two-year program located on the Schoharie Campus.
