SkillsUSA National Signing Day Earns National Recognition
The nationally recognized event spotlighted career and technical education students for their dedication to career readiness and their commitment to forge a career path in a trade they’re passionate about. Hundreds of SkillsUSA schools in 27 states and Puerto Rico participated in the 2021 event — most virtually, but some in-person — honoring students across the country.
This year’s partners for SkillsUSA National Signing Day were The Home Depot, Klein Tools, 84 Lumber and NC3, and each played a vital role in the day’s success. A highlight came early, when two SkillsUSA students appeared live on “Good Morning America” (GMA) and were surprised with scholarships from 84 Lumber, part of the $50,000 in scholarships they delivered on the day. The Home Depot supplied $30,000 in scholarships, and Klein Tools provided merchandise and tools to help students on their career journeys. NFL quarterback Jimmy Garoppolos and NFL Hall-of-Famer Jerome Bettis also served as spokespersons for the event, appearing on a variety of media outlets throughout the day to promote the skilled trades and our students. Look for a compilation of media clips soon. In the meantime, visit our website for more details, photos and video, including a link to the GMA segment.
