We had 17 students from SHCC participate in the SkillsUSA Southeast Ohio Regional Competition at the Buckeye Career Center in New Philadelphia, OH. SkillsUSA Ohio is a non-profit association whose mission is to “empower its members to become world-class workers, leaders, and responsible American citizens.” SkillsUSA Ohio focuses on improving the American workforce through skills training and increasing employability.
The 2020 SHCC team had close to 30% more participation than in 2019. The students competed in 3 events: Welding, Teamworks, and the Health Knowledge Bowl. In total, there were 20 different career centers from Southeast Ohio who participated in this competition:
