Program Overview
SkillsUSA Framework
The SkillsUSA Framework illustrates how students fulfill the mission of the organization: to empower students to become skilled professionals, career-ready leaders, and responsible community members.
What it does:
- Provides a common language for students to articulate what they gain from SkillsUSA participation to employers, school administrators, parents, and other students
- Assesses student skill development along a learning continuum of awareness, demonstration, and mastery
- Creates a vision for SkillsUSA programs at the local, state, and national levels to ensure quality student-led experiences that build skills in all members
Why it works:
- Empowers every student to achieve career success
- Delivers a skill set demanded by business and industry but lacking in many employees today
- Ensures that every student member receives a consistent and specific skill set
