SkillsUSA is a student organization that celebrates career readiness. It is based upon a framework, which combines personal, workplace, and technical skills. Throughout the year, students work with their teachers and peers to build skills that can help propel them directly into the workforce or post secondary education.
The shops at the CTC include Heath Assistance, Homeland Security, Early Childhood Education, Networking, Culinary, Engineering, Automotive, Heavy Equipment Maintenance, Building Construction, and Welding. In these shops, the students not only learn how to perform the tasks specific to that trade, they also learn lifelong skills in leadership, civic mindedness, resume building, prioritization, communication, and teamwork.
SkillsUSA is a forum in which select students can showcase these special skills on a much larger scale.
These students have overcome many challenges in preparing for the competition. Our teams faced the special obstacle of attending different home school districts, as well as the challenge of attending CTC at different times. In order to prepare for their competitions, they had to collaborate with other shops, community members, and teachers in the creation of their projects.
In addition, many of these students have jobs that have made adjustments to accommodate students in this event. This required added responsibility and planning on the part of the student. Students have worked hard to develop teamwork and leadership skills while at the CTC.
SkillsUSA is an exciting career building opportunity. Seneca Highlands CTC is very proud to be a part of the development of our communities’ future leaders.
