Aldine ISD Students Attend SkillsUSA Fall Leadership Conference

Disponible en:

SkillsUSA chapters from high schools across the district took part in the organization’s Fall Leadership Conference. The event took place Oct. 20 at the M.O. Campbell Educational Center.

The conference gave students an opportunity to hone the skills that will take them on to college or careers. More than 600 Houston area students, educators, and area professionals attended the event.

Franklin Higgins said the conference allows students to work on leadership and workplace skills. For example, they learn how to build professional resumes and develop interview skills. SkillsUSA partners also share insights to help students prepare for college. Higgins serves as the district’s director of career and technical education (CTE) programs.

“The program provides students a hands-on experience in career pathways,” said Higgins.

SkillsUSA is a partnership of schools and communities working together. SkillsUSA strives to ensure students find success in college and the workplace. Students can become involved with SkillsUSA through their school’s CTE programs.
