As a free member benefit, SkillsUSA Professional members will receive Jump into Stem! and the Career Readiness Curriculum, CRC (access by pin#). The CRC can help ensure students are being prepared for workplace success. CRC supports the framework of the SkillsUSA mission, which includes personal, workplace and technical skills grounded in academics – all essential to a successful, student-oriented career and technical education program. This curriculum includes 31 lesson plans and is based on Common Core State Standards and
infuses 21st-century skills into student activities. Instructors who register with 100-perfect membership plus an advisor will receive a SkillsUSA Program of Work calendar.
The Alumni Executive Board is offering an incentive for SkillsUSA advisors who sign up alumni from their chapters. For every five members an advisor registers with the SkillsUSA Alumni & Friends Association, he or she will be entered into a drawing for a $100 Lowe’s gift card.
To be officially entered into the drawing, the advisor must have students register online at: www.skillsusa-register.org/alumni/welcome.aspx. (Paper forms will not be accepted.)
The advisor must then send an email to Byekwaso Gilbert at [email protected]. The email must contain all of the following:
the advisor’s name, school, address, phone and email (make sure what you provide will be accessible to you after June 1)
a list (for verification) of the students (first and last names) who registered as alumni

These students must register through their former advisor to be counted as part of that advisor’s entry. Students may only register once. Deadline for entry into the drawing is June 1.
Chapter Excellence Program (CEP)
The Chapter Excellence Program (CEP) honors chapter achievement relative to SkillsUSA’s framework of developing personal, workplace and technical skills. The framework actualizes SkillsUSA’s mission “to empower members to become world-class workers, leaders and responsible American citizen.” It also serves as the blueprint for career readiness – our ultimate goal as an organization. By centering on industry demands, the framework builds the foundation for relevant and intentional student learning and employability skill development. Application can be submitted by Chapter or by section. Your section or chapter can be recognized at State Conference as a Quality Chapter for achieving essential standards at the First Level. Second Level achievement is also recognized at the State Conference as Bronze, Silver or Gold Chapters of Distinction. Up to 10% of the Gold Chapter will be eligible for selection as a Model of Excellence Chapter and recognition at the National Conference by completing the Third Level.
Lowe’s Sponsors $2,000 Grant to Recognize Chapter Excellence @ NLSC (pending sponsorship)
The program consists of four award levels, with the first three levels recognized by the state and the final level eligible for national recognition. The 25 chapters selected as models of excellence will receive a $2,000 section or chapter grant, which may be used to help offset expenses for the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference. Complete your CEP application online at: www.skillsusa-register.org/Login.aspx.If you have questions, contact Gayle Silvey by email to [email protected], or by phone at 404-216-6040.
Career Readiness Curriculum (CRC )
Each Professional SkillsUSA Instructor will receive the Career Readiness Curriculum. You will get a PIN # when you become a member so join early. This practical and flexible standards-based curriculum seamlessly integrates framework components into classroom instruction. It offers 31 user-friendly lessons that incorporate employability skills, engaging activities and proven teaching methods for effective learning. What’s more, it’s presented in a format that makes your job easier. The CRC was not written to be an add-on or a step-by-step process; it was written to merge the SkillsUSA Framework with what you’re already doing. It
also presents career readiness in line with Common Core standards, and is based on information from the US Dept. of Education, US Dept. of Labor, Partnership for 21st Century Skills and the SCANS skills.

National Student Officer 2015-2016Caleb NetterfieldBothel High School
SkillsUSA has lead me on a path with many gems and opportunities, places I have done well and places to improve on. Although I have grown in many ways, the place of greatest impact is my new found motivation. After regional, state and national conference, I now know what it means to be satisfied by good work, hard work. Before SkillsUSA I understood that concept but never lived it out and reaped the benefits. As a newly elected National Officer, I now know the immense satisfaction of good hard work and am now further readied to get to work. Caleb
