Delaware students recently brought home awards from the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference.
Sixty-eight Delaware SkillsUSA high school students joined more than 16,000 participants in the 2024 SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Atlanta. Students participated in events involving construction trades, video broadcasting, graphic arts, automotive trades, and leadership skills. For the first time, Delaware sent four students to act as delegates and participate in leadership training, advisory boards and national officer elections.
Delaware had students place in the Top 10 as well as receive Skill Point awards, which represent the pinnacle of achievement in demonstrating proficiency and workplace readiness in a student’s occupational specialty (see student names below).
In addition, six students received top honors in three skill demonstration events:
The advisers and students, who were for the majority rising juniors and seniors, returned energized from Atlanta. The National SkillsUSA Board of Directors recognized the First State for growing registration, which almost double from the 2023 school year. Delaware’s participation is at its highest it has been in more than a decade.
SkillsUSA is a career and technical student organization that empowers its members to become world-class workers, leaders and responsible American citizens. Its vision is to produce the most highly skilled workforce in the world, providing every member the opportunity for career success.
The SkillsUSA National Championships are career competition events showcasing the best career and technical education students in the nation. Through an investment from business and industry partners of about $36 million, the event occupies a space equivalent to 31 football fields or 41 acres.
