Developmentally disabled students get boost toward horticulture jobs

Nine students will graduate Monday from SCCC’s new horticulture certificate program, six of them developmentally disabled people gaining training for potential future jobs or just learning more about something they enjoy.

Some have already secured work with their new skills.

The 12-week program was a collaboration between Schenectady County Community College, the Schenectady ARC and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Schenectady County.
