What is Texas SkillsUSA?

Texas SkillsUSA is a non-profit Youth organization which facilitates Trade and Industry Education, enhances curriculum and involves all students. Students develop essential skills such as communication and teamwork. They also gain a competitive edge in the work force.

Vocational-technical education, the School-to-Career initiative, and many other movements in education and training reform have searched for an elusive but key bridge-how to have an active partnership between public education and private business. SkillsUSA has been that bridge in Texas since 1948 and nationally since 1965. SkillsUSA is a national student organization that works directly with business and industry to maintain American productivity, quality and competitiveness.

In addition, SkillsUSA teaches the importance of developing leadership skills, positive attitudes and pride in workmanship. Texas SkillsUSA students associate schoolwork with real work. Texas SkillsUSA prepares students for employment by introducing them to corporate quality culture. Texas SkillsUSA emphasizes respect for the dignity of work, high standards in trade ethics, superior workmanship, quality and safety.
