Working with Advisors The Ticket to State Success!
Ideas that can Work Whether your state is: Large, Small, or somewhere In-between Or has A Lot of Resources (money, time, energy) or Very Few
Actual Email! Hello! I am the new SkillsUSA advisor for Grayson Tech. I am trying to get things together this week so I can have an informational meeting about SkillsUSA and Fall Leadership next week. I am completely new at this. I want to have a strong chapter and take lots of students to the competitions. Do you have any Promo videos, info, PowerPoints, handouts, etc. that would explain SkillsUSA further to the students and things I could use to get involved. Any info will be helpful. Thanks so much for your time!
