The SkillsUSA Championships begin at the local level with contests in classrooms nationwide, followed by the District, State, National and even the WorldSkills events. Winners test their skills, frequently make job contacts, and have a chance of recognition medallions, scholarships, tools and other awards. Each level of competition is required to qualify for advancement to the next stage.
The official regulations, descriptions and updates for the National Events are used in addition to the Texas Regulations. The official Texas Regulations are the guiding documents for all Texas Championships, including Job Exhibits and Texas-Only contests.
