Special Career Education Program The BOCES Special Career Education Program serves students with disabilities from the component school districts. 

This program provides a self-contained learning environment with modifications as determined by the Committees on Special Education (i.e., 12-1-1 and 8-1-1).  The Brookhaven Technical Center, the Islip Career Center and Harry B. Ward Technical and Academic Center serves high school students who are 15.5 (15 years and 6 months) of age by September 1^st until the age of 21. 

Special Career Education (SCE) creates opportunities for all students by providing you with the technical and academic skills needed to prepare for future employment and a successful path to college or other post secondary programs.

SCE provides you with technical training to prepare for a successful career. The structured training you'll receive gives you the tools needed to be successful in a job after high school and/or further your post-secondary education. Each student is encouraged to explore various areas of study and to develop the essential skills to feel competent in entering today's competitive job market while helping students learn how to cope with their disabilities in the workplace.
