The SkillsUSA Framework illustrates how students fulfill the mission of the organization: to empower members 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
