Start a career that keeps people smiling 🦷✨
Offered at our Bush Campus, the Dental Assisting program prepares students with the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to work directly alongside dental professionals. Students learn dental anatomy, chairside assisting, tooth charting, restorations, radiography (including digital X-rays), laboratory skills, and dental office procedures.
A key part of this program is real-world experience. Students participate in a clinical placement one day a week in local dental offices, with an optional partial summer experience, gaining confidence in a professional setting.
After successful completion of the program and 200 hours of internship, students are eligible to sit for the New York State Dental Assisting Certification Exam.
If you’re detail-oriented, enjoy working with people, and want a healthcare career with strong demand, this program puts you on a path to success—one smile at a time. 😁

💡 SkillsUSA Week – Day 4 – Think Big Thursday! 💡
Today, the Coopers Campus SkillsUSA Chapter is celebrating Think Big Thursday, a day dedicated to amplifying the skilled trades through advocacy, innovation, and community impact. And honestly— we couldn’t think of a better project to highlight than Lillee’s Pad!
Lillee’s Pad stands as one of the largest and most meaningful projects our campus has ever taken on. Students across multiple programs have come together, using their hands‑on skills to build something that will make a lasting difference for families in our community.
From planning and design to construction and finishing work, our students have shown what happens when talent, teamwork, and purpose come together. This is SkillsUSA in action—students using their skills to create real‑world change. Here is a throwback to the 5K Run/Walk/Kid's Fun Run that our students hosted last Spring, with the sponsors that helped make it happen!
We’re excited to share that we are planning a spring grand opening to celebrate the completion of this amazing community service project, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to see the incredible results of our students’ hard work. 🌷🔨❤️
Here’s to thinking big, building bigger, and making an impact that lasts.

Collaboration in Action!

New Visions Engineering teamed up with the Welding program on our Wildwood Campus for an awesome hands-on experience! Students kicked things off with a quick intro to all three welding processes, then shadowed welding students before getting the chance to weld a project of their own.

We loved being on campus collaborating with the Welding program—and our students cannot wait to go back for more! A huge thank you to Ms. Crawford and all of the welding students for sharing their time, skills, and expertise with us. We truly appreciate it! 👏

🎓✨ In the New Visions Human Services & Education program at the Coopers Campus, no two days are ever the same!
Our students are always on the move—exploring careers, building skills, and discovering the incredible opportunities available right here in our own community.
📽️ Last week, we watched a powerful documentary that highlighted barriers—like limited resources—that can prevent students from reaching their full potential. It sparked meaningful conversations about equity, access, and the role future educators can play in creating change.
📚 Earlier this week, students dove into the world of education theory! They researched influential education theorists and presented their findings to classmates—building confidence, communication skills, and a deeper understanding of teaching and learning.
🏫 And today, we wrapped up a three‑week rotation at a local middle school! Students gained real-world experience, made connections with educators, and got an inside look at what it truly means to support young learners.
💡 Exploration. Experience. Growth.
That’s what New Visions is all about.
