As a way for students to articulate their learning in CTE and SkillsUSA, they create a Framework story. Students share a personal experience that has helped them grow in one specific Essential Element from the SkillsUSA Framework. The story highlights the behaviors that were exhibited and how they grew from the experience.
Framework Story Examples
These examples of framework stories from the 2020-2021 SkillsUSA National Officer Team are great guides to help you formulate your SkillsUSA Framework Story. Remember that your Framework Story is your story. Make it unique and personal.
