State Officer Team
These student leaders serve in a variety of roles throughout their year of service. As leaders, they serve as communicators, advocates and facilitators. The state officer team leads both state conferences: L.E.A.D. and the State Leadership and Skills Conference.
They also serve local chapters and teach members skills from the SkillsUSA Framework that will help them become career-ready.
Additionally, they serve as teammates to one another as they build relationships with members across the state.
Being a state officer is the ultimate growth, personal development and student leadership experience in SkillsUSA Illinois.
The overall program focuses on five key essential elements of the SkillsUSA Framework: responsibility, communication, teamwork, leadership and professional development.
The skills learned through this leadership program will help officers not only be successful in serving the organization, but also throughout their lives and careers.
