The SkillsUSA Georgia State Championships recognizes career and technical education students who excel in their occupational areas and spotlights leadership development activities that are such an integral part of the SkillsUSA program. Besides showcasing students’ skills, the SkillsUSA Georgia Championships, by the very nature of competition, urges students to take pride in their work. It also provides prospective employers with an opportunity to see dedicated, motivated potential employees at work.
