SkillsUSA is an integral part of career and technical education with an unwavering commitment to improving the quality of our nation’s skilled workforce. Our mission is to prepare students for career success. We know it is critical that all members understand their value and purpose while being connected to the in-demand careers that build economic security for a lifetime. 

​

The ability for students to reflect on their knowledge and skills and to be able to articulate what they have gained to an employer is what delivering on the SkillsUSA mission looks like. We are glad that you have decided to join us on this mission! 

 

Nationally, SkillsUSA has served 15 million students and instructors since 1965.
