Power & Construction Group (P&CG), a prominent industry leader, recently made a generous donation to Genesee Valley BOCES, furthering their commitment to empowering students and supporting conservation programs. During a ceremony at the Mount Morris BOCES Campus, P&CG presented a $10,000 gift, which was equally divided between two important institutions: Batavia Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center and Mount Morris CTE Center.

The significance of this donation lies in its positive impact on student conservation programs. The funds will be allocated towards acquiring essential equipment and resources that will enhance students' educational experiences. By providing them with these valuable tools, P&CG aims to nurture the students' passion for the environment, preparing them to become future leaders in the field of conservation.

The Assistant Principal of Mount Morris BOCES Campus, Tim Flack, expressed his profound gratitude for P&CG's generous gift. He emphasized that the contribution exemplifies a shared commitment to empowering students and equipping them with the necessary tools to make a lasting impact on their careers. With this support, our students will have a substantial and concrete opportunity to pursue their passions in this industry.  

Jason Buchinger, Vice President of P&CG, highlighted the company's belief in investing time and resources in building a strong future workforce. The partnership with Genesee Valley BOCES, driven by shared goals, underscores their dedication to supporting and shaping the leaders of tomorrow.

Through this donation, Power & Construction Group has demonstrated its commitment to education, the environment, and fostering the next generation of conservation leaders. This contribution will undoubtedly have a lasting and positive effect on the students' educational journey and the conservation world.

During the ceremony where Power & Construction Group (P&CG) presented their generous donation to Genesee Valley BOCES, two prominent organizations, The Genesee Chamber of Commerce and The Livingston County Chamber of Commerce, were in attendance. Both chambers have a vested interest in supporting educational initiatives and community development within their respective regions. The event presented an opportunity for the chambers to show their support and appreciation for P&CG's commitment to empowering students and promoting conservation programs. 

As influential advocates for local businesses and industries, the chambers recognized the significance of P&CG's donation in fostering a skilled and environmentally conscious future workforce. By attending the ceremony, The Genesee Chamber of Commerce and The Livingston County Chamber of Commerce reaffirmed their dedication to collaboration with partners like P&CG, who share a common goal of investing in the education and development of young minds, thereby contributing to the overall prosperity and sustainability of their communities.

Conservation students graduating and entering the local workforce fulfill vital roles in the field, where their expertise is consistently in demand. These students undergo specialized training and education in conservation-related fields, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to make a positive impact in the field.  

The generous donation made by Power & Construction Group (P&CG) will have a profound and positive impact on the future conservation students enrolled in the Batavia and Mount Morris Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. The funds provided by P&CG will significantly enhance the educational experience and opportunities for these students, as they pursue their passion for conservation.

With this donation, the CTE programs can invest in state-of-the-art equipment and valuable resources that are crucial for hands-on learning and practical training. Students will have access to cutting-edge technology and tools, which will enable them to gain real-world experience and develop the necessary skills to excel in the conservation field.

The impact of this donation goes beyond the classroom. The students will be empowered with the knowledge and practical expertise to become future leaders in the conservation industry. As they graduate from the CTE programs, these young conservationists will be better equipped and able to contribute to their local communities and beyond.

The generous contribution from P&CG's ensures that the Batavia and Mount Morris CTE programs can continue to nurture and empower future conservation students, preparing them for fulfilling careers in a field that will always be in demand.
