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.
Congratulations to Craig, Travis and Camryn! Great Job!
