The 2024 Nebraska SkillsUSA State Leadership Conference and Championships is scheduled for April 11-13 in Grand Island at the Heartland Events Center and Fonner Park.
SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled workforce. The organization serves middle school, high school and college students in programs preparing them for technical, skilled and service careers.
Students compete in more than 140 career and technical competitions, including architecture and construction, arts, audio/video technology, business management and administration, education, health science, public safety, hospitality and tourism, leadership, manufacturing, science, technology, engineering and math, information technology, transportation and more.
The state championships showcase the best career and technical students in Nebraska. All contests run with the help of industry, trade associations and labor organizations, and test competencies set by national industry standards. All competitions offer free public viewing.
Top students earn prizes and scholarships from community colleges, businesses and industry. First-place winners go on to the national championships in Atlanta, Georgia, held on June 24-28, 2024, for the 60th annual National Leadership and Skills Conference. More than 16,000 attendees, including students, instructors and industry partners, are expected to participate in the week-long event.
