Every year SkillsUSA, with the support of corporations interested in building a well-rounded 21st century workforce, sponsors a national championship for the best career and technical students in the nation.
Contestants compete locally and continue through state and national levels. Over 4,000 contestants participated in 143 separate events each June in Kansas City, Missouri.
