The Partnership for Opportunities Program is celebrating over a decade of success. The PNO program, a joint venture of Bassett, SUNY Delhi and Hartwick College, has graduated 148 nurses since its inception in 2001. Some 100 nurses have become RN’s through the program and 48 are now bachelor prepared nurses.

The Partnership for Nursing Opportunities Program allows students to complete their associate degree in nursing through SUNY Delhi. Following completion of the first year at SUNY Delhi, the student may secure employment as a Patient Care Assistant 2. Upon completion of the second year, the student/employee will earn an Associate of Science in Nursing and will be eligible for licensure as a Registered Professional Nurse.

The Bassett - Hartwick College program is designed for Registered Professional Nurses interested in earning a Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing degree while working. RNs will work 12-hour shifts each week at Bassett Healthcare and receive two days of on-site nursing instruction by Hartwick College faculty at Bassett. Following completion of two full calendar years, the Registered Nurse will earn a BS.

Full tuition support is provided to the eligible employee/student in either program with a payback commitment following program completion. Bassett is currently seeking candidates for entry into the SUNY Delhi and Hartwick College at Bassett Medical Center.

The Delaware County Summer Employment Program placed youth across Delaware County in summer jobs in their own communities.

These work experiences helped young people to improve their workplace skills, develop positive contacts and explore fields of interest.

The CDO Staff and Worksite Supervisors worked hard to develop the skills that today's youth need to be successful, not only in their summer job placements, but in all of their future employment endeavors.

"We are grateful for the opportunity to serve youth in our community," said the Delaware County Summer Youth Program Staff.

"Thank you to Delaware County Department of Social Services/Office of Temporary Disability Assistance, The O'Connor Foundation, and The Walton Fairground Board for making the Delaware County Youth Program possible through your generosity."

"And of course to all of the youth that worked so hard this summer, we thank you for your dedication and participation. May you be successful in all of your future endeavors."

On Saturday, September 16, under the theme of “Tipping Point,” eight TED X presenters spoke about leadership skills, human potential, benefits of charitable works and about gratitude.

The event was held at the Foothills Performing Arts and Civic Center in Oneonta. About 100 guests attended and listened to speakers and participated in exercises.

The presenter that traveled furthest for the event was Emma Doyle, a tennis coach from Australia, who spoke about "Unleashing Female Potential."

She discussed coaching style-- and emphasized that asking players how they would approach an unsuccessful play differently is more constructive than identifying “what went wrong.” She said listening builds trust that helps players to unleash their potential.

“Listening is the tipping point,” she said, a message that applies on and off the court.

There were about 20 co-sponsors for the TED X even, including Chobani, Hartwick College and CDO Workforce.
