National Conference
The 2022 National Conference is scheduled for June 20-24 in Atlanta Georgia.
About the National Level
The SkillsUSA Championships is the showcase for the best career and technical students in the nation. Contests begin locally and continue through the state and national levels.
Nationals is a multi-million dollar event that occupies a space equivalent to 16 football fields. In 2018, there were nearly 6,000 contestants in 98 separate events. Nearly 1,500 judges and contest organizers from labor and management make the national event possible.
The philosophy of the Championships is to reward students for excellence, to involve industry in directly evaluating student performance and to keep training relevant to employers’ needs.
In addition to competing, you have the opportunity to go sight-seeing and have fun. Skills USA provides you with tickets to attend different places in the city. For example, zoo and theme park tickets.

2020 Nationals Conference
While this years national conference was canceled, there is still a way to compete.
​
SkillsUSA members can compete in a national contest without going to the national conference. We understand that all of our schools are out now but students, even graduate students, can compete as long as they where paid SkillsUSA members this past school year (2019-2020 school year). Over $20,000 in prizes will be given to the top three placing students. Please let Ray Jensen, our state director, or you advisor know if you have any questions.
