SkillsUSA Texas embraces the technical and skilled crafts of our students over time, and offers a true celebration of CTE within its Job Exhibit contests. Here you will find long term projects that students have crafted from conception to real world fabrication. From decorated cakes, to precision machined parts, to BBQ pits, to 3D animations, to cabinets, pool tables, blue prints, movie productions, custom computers, advertising designs, photography, innovative hair styles, nail art, rebuilt engines and custom painted auto parts… the SkillsUSA Job Exhibit projects brings to life the essence of Career and Technical Education.

The official regulations for Job Exhibits contests can be found within the  Texas Regulations. Here you will find Job Exhibit descriptions, as well as detailed scoring rubrics. 

Job Exhibits are judged at the District and State level competitions, but a Best of Show will only be awarded at the State level contests. Students may enter Job Exhibits individually or by multiple groups or by chapter. All Job Exhibits must be accompanied by a Notebook, which is designed to allow students to document the real-world knowledge, procedures, and job skills used in their programs to create their project. Detailed information and scoring rubrics for all Job Exhibits can be found within the Texas Regulations.
