“I am really excited about implementing the SkillsUSA Career Essentials. If I would have been asked at the beginning of spring, as we ended our school year – I would honestly say, I had no confidence in how I would successfully implement. Though after attending the professional development workshops provided (for free!) and the additional time to review the materials in order to complete the required task for certification. I can honestly say, I feel more confident than I did at the start of July & I am truly looking forward to starting this new journey with our students. I truly believe the SkillsUSA Career Essential Program will be more meaningful to our students, and have a greater impact on them because of the relevance to their specific programs.”
