SkillsUSA

SkillsUSA is a workforce development organization that represents more than 400,000 career and technical education students and teachers. The SkillsUSA National Championships is a student competition adopted by trade schools and sponsored by local industry. This partnership between industry leaders, students and instructors is aimed at building a future skilled workforce. Students have the chance to compete in regional, state and national contests.

Roofing is featured in two competitions at the SkillsUSA National Championships: Teamworks and Commercial Roofing. In the Teamworks competition, teams of four build freestanding structures with asphalt shingle mockups. The Commercial Roofing competitors, following NRCA PROCertification® standards, install single-ply membranes and compete for trophies and monetary awards.

The SkillsUSA gallery showcases the hard work of student competitors.
