On April 16 and 17, Augusta Technical College will play host to over 700 SkillsUSA contestants from Georgia’s technical colleges. This is the college’s second year as host to this prestigious competition in technical education.

All 27 technical colleges have an opportunity to send their students to Augusta for two days of competition in a variety of technical fields such as Culinary, Automotive, Practical Nursing, Residential Wiring and many more...

SkillsUSA is a national career and technical student organization and each year a series of over 100 competitions allow students to test their skills and win medals. The awards ceremony features silver, bronze and gold winning categories.

The theme for this year is “Champions at Work: Connecting the Opportunities.” The idea relates to the national program of work and how SkillsUSA fosters personal and professional development, to prepare students for the next phase of their lives.

In support of this extraordinary opportunity for students to excel, many local businesses have contributed contest supplies and awards. The Augusta Technical College faculty and staff play a huge part of hosting this competition as well as others in the community.

“The students really enjoy this weekend of competition,” says Andrew Jefferson, SkillsUSA State Advisor, “Not only do they get to compete against other students; they also get to network with someone in their same field of study.” Jefferson is Augusta Tech’s Director of Continuing Education and has worked with SkillsUSA for over 15 years.

The April event will begin with competitions at 8 a.m. on Friday and will end with an awards ceremony at 7 p.m. at the Doubletree Hotel on Saturday. The public is welcome to attend; however, interactions with contestants during judging are strictly prohibited. The first place winners in the state competitions will get to compete on the national level of SkillsUSA which is held in Kansas City, Missouri in June. Augusta Technical College was proud to be represented by students in the national competition last year.
