On October 1, a group of O’Connor Academy students had a hands-on experience. The third annual ROC With Your Hands career exploration event got students involved in learning about a variety of careers.  

Students watched and became a part of demonstrations in Advanced Manufacturing, Skilled Trades, Heavy Equipment, and Auto Tech. The event was open to students in grades 7-12 from every Monroe County school. 

The City of Rochester, Monroe County, Monroe Community College, the Finger Lakes Youth Apprenticeship Program, the Builders Exchange of Rochester, and UNiCON hosted ROC With Your Hands at the Rochester Community Sports Complex.
