2026 NLSC Competition Webinar List

Not all competitions will host a webinar. Advisors and competitors should check the Competition-Specific Updates page to confirm whether their competition is offering one and to access the latest information.


Please have students and advisors mark their calendars for any sessions that apply to their competition. These webinars provide key expectations, updates, and guidance directly from the National Technical Committees.

Webinar titles will clearly identify any sessions that serve as a mandatory orientation. Competitors must either attend live or watch the full recording before arriving at NLSC.


Recordings will be posted on the Competition Updates page within approximately 48 hours of the live session.


To view the full webinar list and access links, click HERE. Sessions are listed in date and time order.


New this year: A link to the SkillsUSA Pathful webinar tool has been included. Competitors can log into their SkillsUSA Pathful account to view technical standards and use the webinar series…

The following discrepancies have been identified and corrected:

  • The Engineering Drawing included an incorrect thread size.

  • The data sheet for the Spot Drill tool listed an incorrect angle.

Three of the files have that have "RevA" added to the name been replaced in the folder CNC 2-Axis Turning State 2026.

Alternative Clothing Options for State/National Contests

Hi everyone! As you know, the SkillsUSA store is currently out of several clothing items students are required to wear for competitions according to National technical standards. We understand that exceptions may need to be made (for example, a solid white polo in the same style as the official dress polo but without a logo).

How are you handling this with your advisors and contest chairs? If you’ve already communicated guidance, would you mind sharing the wording you used for acceptable substitutions when official items are out of stock?

We’re looking for best practices and clear language to share with our advisors so there’s no confusion about what meets National requirements. Our goal is to ensure students aren’t penalized with point deductions for Official Dress issues caused by unavailable items.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you in advance! 😀

Hi, Lauren!


We just wrapped up our SLSC and the language/waiver we provided via a competition update and newsletter seemed to work well and ease a lot of advisors minds:


Clothing/Merchandise Waiver

  • Due to the national transition of SkillsUSA merchandise providers, some chapters may experience delays in receiving contest-specific apparel or merchandise

  • For the 2026 State Leadership and Skills Conference, students may compete without required contest-specific clothing or merchandise (e.g., SkillsUSA Official Binder)

  • Students are encouraged to dress as closely as possible to the clothing classification when available

  • Students should bring a printed copy of this approved waiver to their competition, if applicable

  • No clothing-related penalties will be issued under this waiver, provided all other competition and safety requirements are met


Our full competition updates can be found here.


Good luck with your SLSC!
