PAINTSVILLE, Ky. – Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BSCTC) played host to the 2018 SkillsUSA Competition recently on their Mayo and Hager Hill Campuses.
SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers and industry representatives working together to ensure America has a skilled workforce. SkillsUSA helps each student to excel. SkillsUSA was formerly known as VICA (the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America).
Over 175 students from around the area competed in technical education, skilled and service occupation categories for a chance to advance to the state level competition.
Mike Jude, SKillsUSA Regional Director, said that this is the most students he has seen compete during his 20 years with SkillsUSA.
BSCTC hosted 25 on site competitions, 24 held on the Mayo campus and 1 held on the Hager Hill campus. Over 142 students took home gold, silver and bronze metals and will compete in the state competition in Louisville in April.
