We call upon experts in business and education to help. SkillsUSA Championships Skills and leadership competitions give students the opportunity to show their occupational and leadership skills. Local and state contests bring business, industry and labor together with schools and colleges to test the quality of vocational-technical training and to recognize the skills of the students. The winners advance to the national competition. Local and state winners often leave contests with a job offer.
Students benefit no matter how they place in their local competition.
They learn more about their skills, they frequently make job contacts, and they have distinguished themselves in competition. During the national-level SkillsUSA Championships, more than 3,800 students compete in occupational and leadership skill areas. SkillsUSA-VICA programs also help to establish industry standards for job skill training in the classroom.
