GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — More than 1,000 students from across the state are gathering to show off their occupational skills.
About 350 business and industry leaders coordinated nearly 80 skill and leadership contests for the annual SkillsUSA State Leadership and Skills Conference.
“SkillsUSA is a career technical student organization. So, we work with career tech education programs across the state of Michigan who are preparing students for skilled and technical career pathways,” SkillsUSA Michigan State Director Danielle West said. “There’s probably never been a better time to be a skilled professional.”
The more than 1,100 SkillsUSA Michigan student members are competing in entry-level, hands-on skill contests, which are then evaluated by the same industry leaders who prepared them.
SkillsUSA Michigan is a not for profit educational association and is affiliated with the national SkillsUSA office located in Leesburg, Virginia.
SkillsUSA Michigan is supported by a grant from the Michigan Department of Education, to the College of Engineering & Technology at Eastern Michigan University.
