Partnership Opportunities
Business and Industry partners help by providing guidance and resources to ensure we are meeting the demands of industry.
We have opportunities for partnership in our advisory committees, chairing or judging competitions, sponsoring a session, career clusters, providing travel scholarships to state winners, volunteering at district or state conferences, and much more.
Judge a Competition
We are always looking for judges in industry and leadership.
As a judge, you get to sit down with multiple students throughout the day and watch their skills unfold. It is so important to note, that the students have spent all year working, honing their skills, and becoming a master in their trade. You get to have the first look at that years hard work. They come ready to impress and eager to learn.
