Why should I join? SkillsUSA is a national nonprofit student organization serving over 300,000 students and professional members in all fifty states and two U.S. Territories. By joining SkillsUSA, members can connect with individuals across the nation, interact with future employers and educational institutions, earn recognition through success in a wide array of competitive events, build their personal skill set, and most importantly, have fun.
Our chapter attends several out-of-school events in which students can choose to participate including Fall Rally, Fall Leadership Conference, SkillsUSA Regional Competition, SkillsUSA State Leadership and Skills Conference, and National Leadership and Skills Conference. Moreover, students are invited to serve on committees for and attend various chapter events at school, including our Annual Holiday Party, International Breakfast, Trunk or Treat, St.Patrick's Day Party, and Champions Banquet. We pride ourselves in building upon the 'personal equity' of SkillsUSA members; each SkillsUSA member is introduced to a wide variety of professional development opportunities, and taught to 'push their boundaries' in order to achieve success at any level. |
