Members from across Texas may travel to Austin to represent their CTE programs to the state legislature at the Capitol. Training may include communication, parliamentary procedure, advocacy training, and House Rules for students and advisors. Student leaders may gain access to the Texas House floor (availability to the Capitol may vary year to year), where they perform mock legislation and debate proposed bills, and have the ability to set up meetings with their Texas Representatives. 

The event provides state associations, advisors, and student members with the opportunity to promote SkillsUSA programs and activities at both the local and state levels, while highlighting the importance of the skilled trades.
