NJ Chapter Excellence Applications Due March 10

You know you are having a great year in SkillsUSA, so why not be recognized for it? Did you elect officers, hold chapter meetings and engage in chapter activities? Then take it to the next level: Complete the Chapter Excellence Program Quality Chapter application and receive the recognition you have earned as a chapter.  The online application is on the main page of the membership registration site once you log into your school account: www.skillsusa-register.org/Login.aspx.

The Building a Successful SkillsUSA Chapter Teacher’s Guide can be downloaded at: https://www.skillsusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/cep-Teachers-Guide-2018-v2.pdf. The guide offers simple and easy steps to follow on completing the application, engaging students in the process and infusing the SkillsUSA Framework into chapter activities.  For questions or help, call or email our state office.  NJ’s Quality Chapters will be recognized at the April 13 Championships Awards Ceremonies.
