SKILLS USA

All students enrolled at SCRTC are eligible and are encouraged to participate in SkillsUSA. This club develops leadership and professional development competencies. SkillsUSA members may participate in leadership and competitive activities on the local, state, and national skill level.

2011  SkillsUSA Competitions at U.T.C. in Bangor

     On March 10, students loaded the bus with equipment and clothing and departed for Bangor to attend the annual SkillsUSA competitions. SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, educators, and industry leaders dedicated to ensuring America has a highly skilled workforce to compete in the global market.  Students and chaperones stopped to enjoy some lunch at the Twin City Super Buffet before heading to the Bangor Civic Center where the written tests for the individual contests were administered. Then on to the hotel where everyone checked into their rooms.

        After a short break, it was back to the Civic Center for the SkillsUSA Banquet. Opening ceremonies were held in the Bangor Auditorium, and afterwards, a dance was held in the Center. It was lights out at 11:00 p.m.

     Friday morning SCRTC students competed against the best Career and Technical Education students in the state. While the results of the competitions were being tabulated students and staff spent time at the Bangor Mall, then they headed back to the Bangor Auditorium for the closing ceremonies and awards.
