It builds and reinforces self-confidence, work attitudes and communications skills. It emphasizes total quality at work, high ethical standards, superior work skills, life-long education and pride in the dignity of work. SkillsUSA also promotes understanding of the free enterprise system and involvement in community service activities.

 On the SkillsUSA website is excellent support for the advisors and students. The new advisors guide will be very helpful to a first year chapter.

 Once you are a member of a chapter then you'll be able to compete in leadership and skills contests at the local/ regional, state, and possibly qualify for the national contest in Kansas City. Good luck, and remember all your research and time will pay off.
