SkillsUSA is a student-led organization whose purpose is to serve students preparing for technical, skilled, and service careers. SkillsUSA prepares students entering the workforce through the development of Framework skills that include personal, workplace and technical skills grounded in academics. Members compete in a series of career driven events that equip and prepare them for life in the workforce.
