The event, which took place in New Castle, allowed students to demonstrate their proficiency in firefighting, culinary arts, basic health care, automotive care, and more. Students competed for the chance to move on to the state competition, with Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals awarded to the top performers in each category.

SkillsUSA is devoted to preparing students for careers in the skilled trades, and the district competition proved to be a crucial stepping stone for students working toward their professional futures.

“We are incredibly proud of the talent our students demonstrated today,” said Erika Cowan, an instructor in Health and Medical at WCCC. “These competitions are a great way for them to showcase their skills and gain confidence in their chosen fields. Whether they take home gold, silver, or bronze, we know they’re ready to succeed in the workforce.”
