Josh KlineComputer Technology TeacherI have a diverse range of interests and experiences. I am passionate about motorsports both in the aftermarket car scene and professional racing leagues of all kinds. In my free time, I also love playing card games like Magic: The Gathering and playing video games, where I can immerse myself in different fictional worlds. Additionally, I find great enjoyment in delving into the rich lore of fictional universes like Warhammer 40K. On the professional side, I hold a bachelor's degree in information technology and have gained valuable work experience over the past 2.5 years. I am excited to bring my unique blend of interests and skills to any endeavor I undertake.

"I’ve been involved with TST BOCES for many years and I continue to find the engagement with the students, staff, and faculty highly energizing. I have participated in the mock interview event which allowed me to meet and interact with these amazing students and, hopefully, help them understand how to prepare for future professional interviews. Not only was I able to interact with them through this event, but I was also lucky enough to be in a position to host many students as computer technology interns. I can tell you that my team members and I got just as much out of it as the students did, maybe even more. The students were professional and full of questions and an eagerness to learn as well as ideas and thoughts on how to make improvements. I’m grateful to TST BOCES for allowing me to work with and engage with such wonderful people. I look forward to continuing to do so for as long as they’ll continue to have me!"

"I had previous computer technology experience working for my father and wanted the opportunity to develop skills to further that into a career. The Computer Technology program at BOCES, provided a blend of textbook courses, technical training, an internship at Cornell, and a Cisco Certification. I would absolutely recommend the BOCES Computer Technology program to anyone looking to learn how to solve real world IT problems!"

"I started attending Computer Technology in 11th grade, and I just thought the concept of working on computers physically was interesting as it was different from my normal academic work from my home district. I continued into the Cybersecurity program for my senior year since I enjoyed Computer Technology, and I wanted to be around familiar faces everyday. I've become more confident in my abilities from Computer Technology - enough to open up and work on my $1,500 laptop. (For anyone who has a device of that price, you know the feeling of fear that you might mess something up or damage it.) I think that the skills I've learned from both Computer Technology and the ones I'm working on in Cybersecurity will benefit me in my preferred career path going into the physical side of I.T. I believe the class is great for anyone of any level of experience in working with computers physically or on the software level. Even if you don't go into I.T as a field, knowing the common ways people can try to crack your passwords and how to fix basic problems on computers is always a great life skill in our rapidly digitizing world."
