Nearly 200 students from various high schools and BOCES facilities showcased their talents during the competition on March 13. The annual event featured students from technical schools and BOCES programs throughout the Hudson Valley competing in 30 events ranging from advertising design to welding.

 

SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, educators, and industry working together to create a skilled workforce of the future.  SkillsUSA is a national student organization that teaches leadership and employability skills to help students succeed. The goal is that through involvement in SkillsUSA, students will develop personal, workplace and technical skills that will connect them to career success. SkillsUSA members have the opportunity to compete in their area competition to hone their skills in their journey to the state competition and for the top winners to go to nationals.

 

The state SkillsUSA competition will take place April 27-29, 2022 at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse. Winners of that event will advance to the national competition in Kentucky in June.

Congratulations to Joseph, MaKayla and Quion!
