The SkillsUSA Arizona Championships is the the premier
showcase for Arizona's trade, technology and service high
school and college students. This annual conference features
70 skill and leadership competitions that determine who will
represent Arizona at the national SkillsUSA Championships.
Employers, experts from industry and educators work together
to design, judge and recognize our members for their
accomplishments in competitions that have real-world
challenges. Contestants use math, science, reading and
language skills in conjunction with hands-on technical
skills to compete against the best in Arizona!
SkillsUSA Arizona competitions are aligned with the State of
Arizona, Career and Technical Education Standards. More
information about specific programs of study is available at
www.aztechprep.org.
The
theme is for Arizona only and applies to the Prepared
Speech, Bulletin Board and Chapter Display contests. "Champions at Work:
Preparing for the 21st Century."
