SkillsUSA Groups

Good morning, all! I am wondering if any of you sell merch online and if you do what platform/payments do you use? How do you handle shipping costs? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

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.

• The judging scoring rubric contained an incorrect description for Operation 2.

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

Please note: The CNC Programmer project incorporates both the 2-Axis and 3-Axis components, so these revisions apply to that competition as well.

Hi everyone,

I am in dire need of a Marine Service contest, equipment list, and score card as soon as possible. PLEASE if anyone has one they can share I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

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 all! Would any states be willing to share a past blueprint for TeamWorks used at the state level? It's been tough to condense the one provided for NLSC down to a single day competition, so I would appreciate any resources or tips other states have to share.

Just curious if any other states are holding a State-Only Tactical Response Team Competition as one of their Law & Public Safety Events? Kentucky started one last year and I was wondering if it was gaining any traction across the country.

I have attached our technical standards if anyone want to see it.

If you haven’t done so already, please be sure to complete the required forms related to state competition prizes for your state competitions. Lincoln Electric, Miller Electric, Snap-On, and Malco Tools are once again generously providing state-level prize packages for your state winners. Thank you for helping ensure your students and instructors receive these awards by submitting the applicable forms.

As a reminder, Lincoln Electric will also be featured in an upcoming Weekly Roundup, while the other sponsor notifications were included in previous newsletters.

All sponsor prize forms can be found in the SkillsUSA Gateway under the State Prize Sponsor folder link. Visit SLSC Championships Support at: skillsusagateway.org/championships

Please let us know if you have any questions or need assistance accessing the forms.
