Whether you’re a first-year advisor or a 20-year veteran, the start of the school year moves fast. Point gives you three focused hours to get ahead of it. Produced live in the studio and broadcast to teachers nationwide, Point grounds you in the SkillsUSA Framework, walks you through the 2026–27 resources, connects you with work-based learning and SkillsUSA Pathful, and helps you build a plan for your chapter’s year through the Program of Work and the Chapter Excellence Program.
You’ll leave with clear next steps — and, where offered, a direct handoff into your state association’s kickoff meeting.
