This year’s Conference will once again focus on providing “tools in the registrant’s success tool box” that students can use in and out of SkillsUSA. Sessions will focus around chapter development, the new program of work, business and industry led sessions and other exciting engagement opportunities. Students will have the option to choose their own path and choose from over 30 different professional development sessions.

Student’s that are looking to take their experiences to the “next level” can include serve Voting Delegates or Regional Officer Candidates giving students a front row seat to choosing their student leaders. Students will get a variety of opportunities based on the sessions that they choose. We will be able to offer a wide range of sessions on a variety of topics this year and will have a number of industry partners teaching sessions and sitting on industry panels ready to answer student’s questions about employment (please scroll down to see a sample of the sessions).
