Whereas, SkillsUSA serves more than 372,655 students and instructors annually, including 20,598 instructors who join as professional members, and with alumni, membership totals over 434,000; and

Whereas, SkillsUSA has served 13.6 million annual members cumulatively since 1965 and is recognized by the United States Department of Education and the United States Department of Labor as a successful model of employer-driven workforce development; and

Whereas, celebrated in February each year, SkillsUSA Week is a time for members to help raise awareness of SkillsUSA and gives state associations, advisors, and student members the opportunity to promote SkillsUSA programs and activities at the local and state levels; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate values the work of SkillsUSA to prepare a skilled workforce and urges all South Carolinians to become informed of this significant organization. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:
