SkillsUSA Misson

SkillsUSA is America’s proud champion of the skilled trades. Our mission is to empower students to become skilled professionals, career-ready leaders and responsible community members.

Youth Development  

SkillsUSA’s mission is accomplished through the SkillsUSA Framework of Personal Skills, Workplace Skills and Technical Skills Grounded in Academics.

Representing more than 444,000 career and technical education students and teachers, SkillsUSA chapters thrive in middle schools, high schools and college/postsecondary institutions nationwide.

Through the Framework, SkillsUSA students hone their hands-on skills against current industry standards in more than 100 occupational areas, from 3D Animation to Welding and nearly everything in between. At the same time, they develop the transformative career-readiness skills — teamwork, communication, professionalism, leadership and more — that fuel career and life success.

Fall River School uses a shared student leadership model. SkillsUSA leaders collaborate with students involved in FFA and Robotics, allowing leadership responsibilities and ideas to be shared across organizations. 

The Fall River School SkillsUSA program emphasizes pride in craftsmanship, responsibility, and career readiness. Whether students are preparing for immediate entry into the workforce or planning to continue their education, SkillsUSA provides valuable opportunities to learn, lead, and succeed.
