Want to Connect with America's Future workforce?

The SkillsUSA Minnesota State Leadership & Skills Conference invites members from across the state to showcase their skills in competitions related to Arts, Audio/Video, Communications, Construction, Graphics, Personal Care Services, Public Safety, Transportation and much more! At this conference, students from the High School and Post-Secondary level are able to engage with industry leaders along with their equipment and materials in a hands-on capacity.

These connections give students the opportunity to discover careers and connect with potential employers. We would like to invite all industry representatives to this conference and extend the opportunity for you to make a positive impact on America's future skilled workforce!
