Greetings!...
Welcome to another exciting year for SkillsUSA, California! The National theme for this year is: SkillsUSA: Champions at Work - Preparing America's Skilled Workforce. Once again, this theme speaks to the incredible focus and determination of our organization. It isn't enough that our students are prepared to enter the workforce, but that they enter the workforce with skills that are learned beyond the everyday classroom -- Skills that last a lifetime!
