2004 CRAS GRAD, Rafael Estrada with Instructor, Nancy Schaulau at Erie 1 Boces Career & Tech Training Center where he's preparing high school juniors and seniors for the world of audio engineering!

Rafael loves teaching the next generation of audio engineers and he shared how much of an incredible impact CRAS has had on his life.

Vocational Training schools like Erie 1 Boces offer amazing opportunities for high school students who then have a more certain belief of what they want to do for a career. If audio is that path, CRAS is where we'll train and place them in the audio industry!!!
