"The students who took the assessment in employability through the SkillsUSA Work Force Ready System were able to see immediately what skills will make them successful in the world of work. The certificates earned from Skill Connect Assessments give students an opportunity to demonstrate to employers that they are 'ready' to be in the workforce."

For most of us, summer has arrived. If you’re like me, one of the most anticipated events of the summer is the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Kansas City. This year is particularly exciting, as we have more students and guests pre-registered than ever before.

Also new to conference this year is a demonstration area for our Skill Connect Assessments. If you have not yet seen the assessments, we invite you to join us to experience them for yourself. You’ll have the opportunity to choose from 36 technical assessments that cover a wide range of occupational areas. And, you’ll have the opportunity to win a free Apple iPod Touch. E-mail me today, and please stop by our TECHSPO booth at the National SkillsUSA Conference next week to talk with us.
