Something unique about my Career and Technical Education journey is that I’ve supported multiple states in multiple education agencies while serving multiple Career and Technical Student Organizations. I really enjoyed sharing about these experiences with my peers at the SkillsUSA State Directors Association Professional Development and Training Conference because I realized that a large part of what has made me and the organizations I manage successful is the relationships we have with our departments of education and technical college systems.

Thanks for the kind words. As with any successful endeavor, there’s usually a group of folks who are behind the scenes that play an integral role. In terms of the SkillsUSA NLSC, we were truly indebted to the support of @lisagalford with Canon USA and James Tian and Daniel N. with Ikan International who saved the day at the 11th hour. Our volunteer judges, Tom White with Amitrace and Joe Leonard who dedicated two ten hour days patiently judging each of the thirty teams that competed. W. Kevin Ward, who served as our Skills Cluster rep, also played a pivotal role in ensuring that the contest ran as smoothly as possible. We’re already planning for next year’s state conference and hope to make it an even better experience. Stay tuned.

Attending the SkillsUSA National Leadership & Skills Conference this week has provided an exceptional experience and valuable opportunity. Colin Kelly, a recent graduate from Rockdale Career Academy, demonstrated his proficiency in Internetworking concepts amidst competitors from secondary and postsecondary institutions nationwide. His tasks included constructing an end-to-end network using Cisco Services, troubleshooting network issues, handling a Technical Assistance Center Call, and designing a network layout for a medical office. Additionally, Colin seized the chance to pursue the Cisco Certified Support Technicians (CCST) Certification. Special thanks to SkillsUSA, SkillsUSA Georgia, and our generous sponsors for facilitating this enriching experience for Colin. #SkillsUSA #NoLimits #SkillsNLSC24

Workplace experience. Skills training. Leadership opportunities. New perspectives. As a few SkillsUSA students shared with us, on-the-job internships provide important training & knowledge, especially for career & technical education (CTE) students. #InternshipAwarenessMonth
