The SkillsUSA Competition brings together industry and labor representatives, educators, and
the public to watch students compete in leadership and hands-on skill events. Winners advance
through district and state competition, and the best of the best make it to the national event.
Students benefit no matter how they place in their contests. They test their skills, frequently
make job contacts, and have a chance for recognition. District, state, and national winners
receive gold, silver, and bronze medallions, scholarships, tools, and other awards.
