Student officers from the John D. Rockefeller Career Center's SkillsUSA Chapter attended the SkillsUSA West Virginia Fall Leadership Conference to enhance their leadership skills. The conference aims to strengthen relationships between students and advisers, equipping them to lead their chapter throughout the school year. SkillsUSA serves over 442,000 high school, college, and middle school students, along with professional members enrolled in training programs, underscoring its broad impact on career and technical education.
