SkillsUSA was featured on the Aug. 29, 2026 episode of “Now We Know! with Steve Guttenberg” on CNBC, putting our students, teachers and industry partners in front of a national audience. The segment showed how we prepare students to become skilled professionals, career-ready leaders and responsible community members.

The feature spotlighted the SkillsUSA Framework — personal, workplace and technical skills grounded in academics — and our competitive events, where members prove their mastery across trade and technical fields. It also showed how we connect middle school, high school and college CTE students with industry leaders to close the nation’s skills gap and build a stronger, more competitive workforce.
