What is SkillsUSA?
SkillsUSA is a national nonprofit student organization that serves students enrolled in career and technical education training programs at our nation’s public high schools and colleges. SkillsUSA’s mission is to empower its members to become world-class workers and responsible American citizens.
SkillsUSA compliments technical skills training with instruction in the employability skills that make a well-rounded worker and citizen. Founded in 1965, SkillsUSA has developed nearly 9.5 million workers through active partnerships between employers and educators.

 

What we do
In the SkillsUSA Durango Chapter, we help students find their area or areas of interest that they want to improve their skills in work, career, and leadership oriented topics. We accomplish this through preparedness for Regional, State, and National Competitions. We also help make connections between local industry and our student members to help them build the skills necessary for them to grow in confidence and abilities related to their future work and careers.

 

When we meet
Up to two times a month to discuss upcoming events, fundraising, regional and state conference preparedness, etc.
