Four UAA gold medalists emerge from Alaska SkillsUSA competition
by Michelle Saport |
The UAA Community & Technical College (CTC) and numerous local industry supporters took part in the judging and contest administration for the 2014 Alaska SkillsUSA contest hosted by the Transportation & Power Division in mid-March. The performance-based assessment conference showcases diesel equipment technology and automotive service students who are preparing for careers in the Alaska transportation and heavy equipment industry.
During the competition, students worked against the clock and each other, proving their expertise in competencies set by industry standards and recognized best practices.
Four CTC students put in gold performances in this year's contest in the Alaska pin design, automotive service technology, diesel technology and job interview categories. Students in the automotive service and diesel technology categories have the opportunity to advance to the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in June.
