On Thursday, April 10, 2025, Questar III BOCES welcomed more than sixty guests to the Welding and Heavy Equipment Building at Robert H. Gibson Technical School in Troy, NY, to celebrate the new space and the opportunities it will provide for our region. Questar III BOCES District Superintendent Dr. Gladys I. Cruz welcomed several dignitaries to the event, including New York State Department of Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon, business and community partners, local superintendents, board members, students, staff, and more.

In 2023, Questar III BOCES was awarded a $1.654 million grant through New York State’s Workforce Development Capital and Pay for Performance Grant, awarded by the state’s Office of Strategic Workforce Development. One of fourteen projects across the state awarded a grant, this initiative focused on supporting employer-driven, high-skilled workforce training programs and rewarded innovative approaches and best practices that reduce the barriers for high-need communities.
