TeamWorks Competition Region Championship Overview

The SkillsUSA Georgia TeamWorks competition, sponsored by the Construction Education Foundation of Georgia (CEFGA), is entering its 11th year. The TeamWorks competition is an exciting State Leadership and Skills Conference two-day event that has captured the interest of educators, contractors, and the general public. Ten teams, each consisting of four construction students, will construct building projects for a detailed blueprint design that require skills in carpentry, electrical, masonry, and plumbing during the SkillsUSA Georgia State Leadership and Skills Conference.

Because of the costs and sophistication of conducting the competition, the full contest, represented by 10 schools, will be offered only at the state level during the SkillsUSA Georgia State Leadership and Skills Conference. However, it is the interest of the contest committee that all construction programs have equal opportunity to participate in the competition. Following are the procedures that will be used to qualify and select the 10 teams from across the state that will participate:

1. A team of five students, with one student being an alternate, from the construction program should be selected to represent their school(s) in the TeamWorks qualification at the Region SkillsUSA Competition. Team members may be from different chapters (schools) but the schools must be from the same region. It is advisable that students are selected on the basis of their training and expertise in each of the program areas. The alternate team member will take a test that is composed of Core questions along with questions representative of each of the 4 skill areas. The alternate’s test will be included in the scoring for the entire team. If the team should lose a member, then the alternate would be in place to compete at the State Level. Each team must register an alternate to participate in the Teamworks Competition. 2. Separate comprehensive written examinations will be administered to each team member at the regional SkillsUSA competitions that will demonstrate their general knowledge. 3. In addition to the general knowledge tests, there will be four separate tests (carpentry, electrical, masonry, and plumbing). Examination content will be selected from the NCCER Contren Curriculum (Core through Level I for each craft). Questions will be multiple-choice but may require application of skills, mathematics, layout strategies, etc. Each of the four team-members will take the separate and distinctively different test according to their assigned responsibility within the team (carpentry, electrical, masonry, and plumbing). 4. Teams will be invited to participate in the statewide competition on the basis of highest composite team scores from across the state. The top 10 composite team scores will be determined from a statewide comparison of scores. Advisors will be notified of their team's eligibility by the State Director at the conclusion of All Region Competitions. 5. Additionally, participants must meet typical qualifications outlined in the SkillsUSA Championships Technical Standards. 6. Region Chairs may decide to identify and award the first, second and third place region level teams with medallions but a first place in the region contest does not mean that a team will move to the State Leadership and Skills Conference competition (that is determined by the top ten composite scores across the state).

To be completed by Region Chair: Date: ______From: ______Amount Received: ______Check #: ______Lesson Plan: Resume Tips

Objective: Write a professional resume to prepare for the Region Championships, State Leadership and Skills Conference, as well as, college or a part-time job

Instructions: Use the following guidelines to write your resume. If you already have a resume read through the guidelines and see if your resume could be adjusted to better highlight you as a student and potential employee. Remember that every Region and SLSC competitor will need to turn in a resume. Heading Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address should all go at the top of your resume. Be sure to use a permanent address and telephone number. Also, remember to use an e-mail address that sounds professional. Do not use an e-mail address such as [email protected]. It does not sound professional.

Objective An objective lets college recruiters or potential employers know your main goal. If your target is a college recruiter, tailor your objective to that specific school. For example, your objective may be, "To earn a degree in Education at Georgia College and State University." If you want to get a part-time job, you will need to modify your objective to that particular job, such as "To obtain a part-time sales position with Kohls."

Education/Academics In the education section, list the schools you have attended. Be sure to include your GPA if it is a 3.0 or higher. You can also mention any academic honors, awards, and/or recognitions that you have received. These can include honor roll recognitions, essay writing awards, science competitions, etc.

Experience The experience section should briefly give an overview of work experience that has taught you valuable skills. In this section, include: title of position, name of organization, location of work (town and state), dates of employment, and description of work responsibilities. Be sure to use action words to describe your job duties, such as sold, created, processed, etc. Since many high school students do not have a lot of work experience, you can also describe class projects in which you have learned important skills or even leave this section out all together and concentrate on the education/academics and additional information/extracurricular sections.

Additional Information/Extracurricular Activities The additional information or extracurricular section should be used to place key elements of your background that don't fit in any other section. You may want to include: special skills, leadership roles, volunteer experiences, participation in sports, band, yearbook, etc. This section is where you can demonstrate your uniqueness.

References Be sure to ask people if they would serve as your reference before you give their names out. You do not need to include your reference information on your resume. A statement at the bottom of your resume that says, "References available upon request," is sufficient. ______FirstName LastName 6 Pine Street, Arlington, VA 12333 home: 555.555.5555 cell: 566.486.2222 email: [email protected]
