The SkillsUSA Advisor of the Year program recognizes Professional members who actualize the organization’s mission of empowering students to become world-class workers, leaders, and responsible American citizens. A SkillsUSA chapter is only successful with the support of an Advisor who has dedicated themselves to career and technical education by intentionally integrating the SkillsUSA Framework and ensuring students can articulate the skills they have developed. State recipients are submitted to the regional competition. During NLSC, regional winners are interviewed, and a national winner is selected.

If chosen as the Wyoming Advisor or the Year, your application will advance to the regional 5 competition, leading to the National Advisor of the Year.

Recipients on the regional and national levels will serve as ambassadors to the organization by representing SkillsUSA at conferences, attending and exhibiting on behalf of SkillsUSA at industry trade shows and participating in social media engagement opportunities.Eligibility requirements for state, regional or national consideration:

• Must be a paid, Professional member in the current school year
• Chapter must achieve a minimum of Level 2 within the SkillsUSA Chapter Excellence Program during the current school year.  Once Advisors have completed a CEP Level 2 application, a new button will appear on the CEP Application to allow them to create a new Advisor of the Year application.

Application areas:

• Philosophy on CTE and SkillsUSA Framework skill development
• Intentional SkillsUSA Framework integration into school and chapter
• Communication of SkillsUSA Framework Skill Development
