Northeast State’s SkillsUSA chapter earned six gold and two silver medals at the Tennessee 2022 Leadership and Skills Conference in Chattanooga, Tenn.
“We are extremely proud of our students and the work they did to represent themselves and Northeast State,” said Dr. Donna Farrell, Technologies dean at Northeast State Community College. “Many thanks to our faculty advisors. These awards would not have been achieved without their mentorship.”
The gold medalists have the opportunity to compete in the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills competition set for Atlanta on June 20-24, 2022. More than 16,000 students, teachers, and business partners are expected to participate in the week-long event.
