SkillsUSA wields a large shovel, but we have a big hole to fill.

SkillsUSA improves the quality of our nation’s workforce by helping students develop personal, workplace and technical skills grounded in academics. Our mission is to empower our members to become world-class workers, leaders and responsible American citizens. Read the full story on AdvancedManufacturing.org.
