SkillsUSA MN Contest Winners – Transportation 2021

The 2021 State Championships were held in either remote, hybrid or a submission-style capacity in cities and schools across Minnesota from April 12-25th.

During the state SkillsUSA competition, the CTE students worked against the clock and each other, proving their expertise in automotive service technology, collision repair technology, and diesel equipment technology. All contests were developed, facilitated and judged by SkillsUSA with the help of industry, trade associations and labor organizations, testing competencies set by industry. Top student winners received gold, silver and bronze medallions. Many also received prizes such as tools of their trade and scholarships to further their careers and education. The annual championships event is for middle school, high school and college-level students who are members of SkillsUSA.
