National Competition
Industry recognition and medallions for winners will make this an exciting event that provides a career-enhancing opportunity for each participant. The contest will be planned and judged to industry standards for an entry-level worker in the field.

Events will be held on June 23-25, 2008 in Kansas City, Mo. There will be opportunities to attend a general session with more than 12,000 participants at Kemper Arena, a hands-on competitive event, an awards ceremony, and an optional tour of the SkillsUSA Championships.

This is a demonstration event that allows students to compete at a national, $30 million event that has been hosted by business and industry for the benefit of technical students since 1967. The SkillsUSA conference currently offers more than 87 national competitions with more than 5,000 competitors annually at the national level.
