The SkillsUSA Championships are career competition events showcasing the best career and technical education students at the district, state and national levels, rewarding students for excellence, involving industry in directly evaluating student performance and training relevant to employers’ needs.

The Chapter Excellence Program (CEP) recognizes achievement as it relates to the integration of the SkillsUSA Framework in chapter program of work activities.

The SkillsUSA Framework illustrates how students fulfill the mission of the organization “to empower members to become world-class workers, leaders and responsible American citizens.”

The Program of Work (POW)  empowers students to become career ready through six different categories of experiences. These experiences allow students the opportunity to practice and perform the Essential Elements of the SkillsUSA Framework and receive feedback to strengthen their skills.

The SkillsUSA Career Essentials Suite curriculum engages learners in defining, implementing and measuring their career-readiness skills. Each course in the SkillsUSA Career Essentials Suite can be delivered via a face-to-face classroom environment, remotely, or a hybrid model. Instructors can implement the curriculum as part of a current content course, or as a stand-alone career-readiness course.
