Student Success (Increase Student Achievement via Student Centered Instruction) BACKGROUND SkillsUSA is a student-led professional organization uniquely structured for the personal and professional development of its members. Within SkillsUSA, individuals cultivate a comprehensive skills set encompassing technical, academic, and employability proficiencies, ultimately equipping them for successful career pursuits. The acquisition of these skills occurs through active participation in chapter meetings, contests, leadership conference, and various activities. During the State Leadership and Skills Conference each year, SkillsUSA California chapter delegates from across the state elect up to 6 middle school ambassadors, up to 6 regional vice presidents, up to 7 high school state officers, and up to 7 college/postsecondary state officers to serve as student leaders for the organization. These student leaders serve in a variety of roles throughout their year of service. As leaders, they serve as communicators, advocates, and facilitators. The primary role of a SkilsUSA California State Leadership Team is to serve SkillsUSA California at the local and state levels to support SkillsUSA's mission. Being a part of the State Leadership Team means representing more than 54,000 SkillsUSA California members. The California State Leadership Team leads the California state conferences, including the SkillsUSA California Fall Leadership Conferences (FLC), the SkillsUSA California Regional Leadership and Skills Conferences (RLSC), and the SkillsUSA California State Leadership and Skills Conference (SLSC). The State Leadership Team also serves local chapters and teaches members skills from the SkillsUSA Framework to help them become career-ready. ANALYSIS During the SkillsUSA California State Leadership and Skills Conference (SLSC) in April of 2025, Dominguez High School junior and Emergency Medical Response Pathway student Angelina Ramirez was elected state officer for SkillsUSA California and became part of the SkillsUSA California State Leadership Team. Ms. Ramirez submitted a State Leadership Team Application, attended a candidate orientation, passed a State Leadership Team Candidate Test, interviewed with a panel of SkillsUSA California Trainers, staff, representatives, and Board Members. She conducted a full campaign including campaign speeches, presentations at delegate sessions, creation and distribution of campaign materials, and presentation of campaign displays. Throughout Ms. Ramirez's year of service as a state officer, she will be engaged in several assignments and events that require travel and training. The first in-person training took place May 2-4 in Ontario, California with the newly elected California SkillsUSA State Leadership Team in order to prepare for the upcoming National Leadership and Skills Conference taking place in June 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. Ms. Ramirez's Emergency Medical Response Pathway teacher and SkillsUSA Advisor Lenin Escobar and CTE/ROP & Partnerships Sr. Director Rose Gonzalez chaperoned Ms. Ramirez for this initial training in Ontario, California. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IMPACT Being part of the State Leadership Team is one of the personal growth and student leadership experiences within SkillsUSA California. The programs focus on three key essential elements of the SkillsUSA Framework: Leadership, Communication, and Service Orientation. The skills learned through the State Leadership Team program will not only help these student leaders be successful in serving the organization, but also help them throughout their lives and future careers.
