Championships
What are the Championships?
The SkillsUSA Championships is the premier showcase of Georgia's most highly skilled career and technical education students. It’s also one of the largest hands-on workforce development programs in the state. Held at SkillsUSA Georgia's Region Championships and State Leadership and Skills Conference, this awe-inspiring program features more than 3,000 secondary and postsecondary students from across Georgia competing head-to-head in 150+ skilled, occupational, and leadership competitions.
Connection to Industry
The philosophy of the SkillsUSA Championships is to reward students for excellence, to involve industry in directly evaluating student performance, and to keep classroom training relevant to employers’ needs. The competitions are created, overseen, and judged by over 400 industry volunteers, each committed to building the next generation of skilled professionals, career-ready leaders, and responsible community members our future depends on.
The Path to Nationals
The SkillsUSA Championships is the culmination of a year-long process that begins in local SkillsUSA chapters across the country. Students compete in regional competitions, testing their skills against competitors from other schools. Those winners advance to state competitions, and state gold medalists earn the right to compete nationally at the National Leadership and Skills Conference each June. Along with gold, silver, and bronze medallions, competitors may earn scholarships, tools of the trade, and even job offers right off the competition floor. Perhaps most importantly, they earn the confidence that can only come when you know you’re among the best of the best in what you do.
