Your SkillsUSA experience is more than a single event, competition, or leadership position. Every opportunity to learn, lead, serve, and grow contributes to your development as a career-ready professional.
The SkillsUSA Tennessee College/Postsecondary Career-Ready Passport brings those experiences together. Through digital badges, students can build a record of their participation, achievements, and progress throughout their SkillsUSA journey.
Whether you're attending your first jumpSTART, serving as a chapter officer, competing in the SkillsUSA Championships, or developing the Essential Elements of the SkillsUSA Framework, your journey matters.
