4 Postsecondary Education with Career Planning Resources Glossary BOCES Board of Cooperative Education Services participates in a partnership with the New York State Department of Education by providing programs where adults receive education, training and support services enabling them to enter or advance in the workplace. The continuing education program provides shortterm career-related courses in many areas such as construction, health, culinary arts and computer technology. BOCES Career and Technical Education offers students an opportunity to attend training for one or two years. Successful graduates can attain a Career and Technical Education Certificate or a Regents Diploma and a Technical Endorsement. The success rate is high; with 51 % of graduates going on to colleges or technical institutions with 42 % working in their field of study. EOP-Colleges with Universities in the SUNY System The State University of New York's Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) provides access, academic support, and financial aid to students who show promise for mastering college-level work, but who may otherwise not be admitted. Support services may include counseling, tutoring, modest financial, academic advisement aid and educational/skill building workshops. In addition, students may be required to attend a pre-freshman summer program prior to fall matriculation. Offered primarily to full-time students who are New York State residents, EOP accepts students who qualify, academically and economically, for the program. Since program inception, more than 55,000 students have graduated. HESC The Higher Education Services Corporation administers financial assistance programs. HESC helps make the college funding process faster and easier for students, parents and administrators. HESC administers the New York State Tuition Assistance Program. HEOP-Private Colleges and Universities The Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) is an academic support program established by the State of New York in It enables motivated students who lack adequate preparation and financial resources for college attendance to pursue a college degree. To meet the specific need of its students, HEOP primarily provides testing, counseling, and tutoring. Academic advisement and financial assistance are also available. 1
