About Us
Our Framework is the Difference
SkillsUSA’s mission is accomplished through the SkillsUSA Framework of Personal Skills, WorkplaceSkills, and Technical Skills Grounded in Academics. Created with the help of our industry partners, the Framework is the blueprint for career readiness, and it’s the foundation for all we do. Through the Framework, students develop crucial career and life skills —communication, teamwork, professionalism, computer and technology literacy, integrity and many more — that set them apart from their peers. We call it “the SkillsUSA difference,” and the Framework makes it happen.
