Elevate is an interactive virtual experience for local chapter officer teams that focuses on building successful chapters by equipping officers with the skills to lead and serve their chapter members.
The Elevate experience is open to all SkillsUSA chapter officers. Each chapter officer team will join Elevate as a group, using their classroom’s projector and screen to interact with the virtual experience. In addition to live, facilitated sessions, Elevate will break out into intentional worktime led by the local chapter advisor (equipped with a learning guide that we provide), with the goal of ensuring every chapter leaves Elevate with an actionable Program of Work.
Already completed your chapter’s Program of Work before Elevate? Join us and use Elevate as a chance to refine and strengthen it to ensure your chapter is equipped for success and constantly greater goals and challenges.
