SkillsUSA has updated the “
SkillsUSA: Clothing and Tools” app for 2018. This is a great starter resource that
does not replace the
SkillsUSA Championships Technical Standards but connects users to
SkillsUSA’s membership site, where
educators can join as professional members to receive the full standards at no charge.
For each contest, the new “
SkillsUSA: Clothing and Tools” app includes an overview, clothing requirements, and eligibility and safety guidelines, as well as lists the specific tools, equipment or materials that contestants need to provide.
It is offered completely free of charge for students, instructors and
SkillsUSA business partners.
The app is available now in both the Apple Store:
http://apple.co/2dtlb8d and the Google Play Store:
http://bit.ly/2e5fRec.
This app was created and sponsored by Pearson (
www.pearsoned.com).
