Important! Contest Updates for 2008 SkillsUSA Championships posted

May 19, 2008

Read this and act accordingly! Very important!

National SkillsUSA has posted the final contest updates. Make sure you scroll all the way down the page … there are numerous updates for many contests!!! Any further updates will be mailed direct to the competitor and his/her instructor. Please make sure your students are aware of the updates.

Some of the information is critical for successful competition in some areas. For example, the national technical committee for Electronic Technology was unable to have the oscilloscopes donated this year, so competitors must bring their own. The national committee has again given us the actual menus/recipes that will be used in this year’s culinary arts contest.
