  • FOR EXCELLENCE in PERSONAL, WORKPLACE and TECHNICAL SKILLS Summer 2021
    FOR EXCELLENCE IN PERSONAL, WORKPLACE AND TECHNICAL SKILLS Summer 2021 Dear SkillsUSA Advocates, It is my pleasure to share the exemplary work of our 2021 Models of Excellence (MOE) chapters. This award celebrates the highest level of our Chapter Excellence Program (CEP), which recognizes chapters nationwide for outstanding application of the SkillsUSA Framework in developing the personal, workplace and technical skills demanded by industry. The work by this year’s MOE recipients is especially impressive considering all that has transpired in the past year with the evolving pandemic landscape. Some schools were in-person most of the year, some used hybrid models and some were completely online. Despite various learning environments and the continual challenges placed on both advisors and students, our chapters achieved amazing results! Most importantly, the focus on career readiness and hands-on skills application did not waver. SkillsUSA advisors and members persevered, often using virtual tools and creative programming, to continue down the path of intentional learning and mastery of high-demand skills. They have proven that closing the skills gap and providing communities with capable leaders and skilled employees must go on, no matter the situation. Not only did our MOE chapters demonstrate meaningful and interactive engagement, but they provided much needed support to their communities. You will see inspiring examples of career-oriented service, personal generosity, thoughtful ingenuity, collective teamwork, justice-seeking workshops and uplifting resilience. The persistence of every MOE chapter is testament to the value of SkillsUSA and the power of turning uncertain situations into purposeful opportunities. It is with joy that we move forward into normalcy with gratitude for the many lessons we’ve learned this past year.

Johnson in the Cabinet Room of the White House. The students give the President a handmade gavel and sounding block inscribed, "To Lyndon B. Johnson - America's Great Educational President." 1969 VICA membership hit 82,000 with new chapters, college/technical membership and VICA's yearly themes. The first theme was "Speak Up for America." 1970 The VICA Leadership Handbook was published for the first time and a student campaign to raise funds for the National Leadership Center got underway.

    SKILLSUSA PL AY BOOK SkillsUSA Information This document is a reference source for you to make initial contact with your SkillsUSA state office. The process of getting started with SkillsUSA at the state level is straight forward and you will find the organization to be very open to your inquiries! The step by step process is as simple as calling your state director, which is listed in this document and introducing yourself as a contractor working in the state and that you are a DCA member. A short description of your company’s specific work activity and what the DCA does will get the conversation started. In this document you will find each state’s SkillsUSA Director contact information and the location of the state office. In addition, we have provided a few suggested opening questions to begin the exchange of information. The conversation will flow naturally once you have made contact and the SkillsUSA representatives will be happy to share information. Our goal is to get you all involved to a greater extent in your state’s SkillsUSA program so you can build both your company’s and the DCA brand deeper into the organization. You will find some states are much more organized than others in terms of having locally integrated relationships and skills challenges and some will be only active at the state level. In either case, there is an opportunity to be involved and to meet potential future job candidates. We will begin by focusing on the welding skills competitions but feel free to expand into other areas if you feel there is a good fit for your organization.
