Championships Contests

Technical Committees and Contest Management
Technical Committees (TC) are established for all SkillsUSA--Arizona contests. Each committee provides technical expertise and industry resources for conducting a specific contest. The Technical Chairperson, from each contest, is responsible for coordinating the materials, securing equipment, finding judges and following the SkillsUSA Technical Standards for the contest.
