Recognizing the 60th anniversary of SkillsUSA.
This is a non-binding House resolution recognizing and commemorating the 60th anniversary of SkillsUSA, the nation’s largest workforce development organization for students. Introduced in the 119th Congress, the measure acknowledges SkillsUSA’s founding on May 8, 1965 and highlights the organization’s mission to prepare America’s skilled workforce through career and technical education (CTE). It describes SkillsUSA’s framework—combining personal, workplace, and technical skills anchored in rigorous academics—and notes the organization’s partnerships across education, government, business, and industry. The resolution expresses support for recognizing the milestone, encourages broad recognition and support from students, families, educators, employers, and other stakeholders, and underscores SkillsUSA’s role in expanding access to and opportunities within CTE. The bill does not create new policy or funding; it is a symbolic acknowledgment by Congress.
