There are 20,926 teachers serving as professional members and SkillsUSA advisors. Combining alumni membership, the total number reached annually is over 427,000. SkillsUSA has served more than 13.5 million members since its founding in 1965.

​

Mission:
SkillsUSA empowers its members to become world-class workers, leaders and responsible American citizens. SkillsUSA improves the quality of our nation’s future skilled workforce through the development of Framework skills that include personal, workplace and technical skills grounded in academics.

​

Vision:
SkillsUSA produces the most highly skilled workforce in the world, providing every member the opportunity for career success.

Luckily, we have our own culinary programs tailored specially for our students, so that young learners can master the art of cooking in a productive learning environment. And, even if down the road they change their minds and choose another career path, there are other benefits of cooking classes for students that will be useful throughout their lives. It can be a career exploration activity or practical education for a future in food.

​

This will be our inaugural year in SkillsUSA, we look for a fruitful and fulfilling year. We have a team of teachers who are dedicated to bringing this new challenge to our students.
