Meet Alyssa Shriber, she is an entry-level carpenter and a recent SkillsUSA National Signing Day signer. Alyssa's journey into the skilled trades was sparked by her experiences building a pool deck with her father and learning construction basics from her godparents. Enrolling in the Construction Trades program at Indian Valley Vocational Center IVVC, Alyssa discovered her strong passion for building. Confident in her skills, Alyssa believes in her success in the skilled trades: "I believe that I will make something big out of myself in this career.” #SkilledVoices #LowesFoundation #SkilledTradesCareers #SkillsUSANationalSigningDay #BlueCollarCool

SkillsUSA presented the Drive to 65 Strategy at the National Leadership & Skills Conference in Atlanta, GA. David Jordan, MA, CDP from Aerotek moderated a panel with Maureen Tholen of 3M, Thomas B. Kelly of Aerotek, and Bill Willetts of Snap-on. They discussed their support for SkillsUSA in building a talent pipeline and workforce development, encouraging others to join them. Our 2023-2024 National Officers, Lilia Burkes, Preet Damani, and Oviya Senthil, shared their SkillsUSA journeys and future aspirations. The panel highlighted the workforce gap, with 83% of companies struggling to find skilled workers and 67% experiencing shortages. SkillsUSA, with over 413,000 members and 21,000 classrooms, continues to develop skilled professionals and career-ready leaders. #SkillsUSA #WorkforceDevelopment #TalentPipeline #SkilledTrades
