SkillsUSA has worked this summer to develop innovative educational resources and new professional development materials that support teachers and students regardless of where learning takes place — in the classroom and lab, at home or a hybrid of the two. We realize that teachers are more successful and students are more engaged when provided with rich content and meaningful experiences. We also know that students and teachers value consistency and need greater support than ever before.
THEVALUEOFMEMBERSHIP
As a SkillsUSA community, we are committed to helping students attain the highest levels of academic achievement and personal transformation while developing their personal, workplace and technical skills grounded in academics through the SkillsUSA Framework. SkillsUSA will help students and teachers find new ways to connect while remaining engaged and motivated.
In focus group settings, students shared three consistent themes of what they were seeking from their SkillsUSA membership:
“Community that creates a sense of being involved in something bigger than myself.”
“Growth that provides an opportunity to connect to my career in a greater way and discover more about myself.”
“Recognition received through excellent work.”
Through Empowering Experiences, students will be encouraged to engage in at least eight activities over the next four months. Specific activities have been developed to serve subsets of students with primarily chapter members and chapter officers being the focus.

VALUEOFPROFESSIONALMEMBERSHIP
In spite of the pandemic, our goal for the 2020-2021 school year is to support SkillsUSA instructors
at a higher level than ever before by delivering curated content, tools and resources that are easy to implement in any learning environment, whether virtual, classroom-based or a hybrid of the two. Our resources and chapter models offer instructors great flexibility on how to integrate learning into the CTE curriculum.
Becoming a professional member of SkillsUSA is one of the best ways to demonstrate to students the importance of joining a professional organization and the opportunities that membership will provide.
