Easel, if needed Skill Performance: This competition is a multi-member team event that encourages the involvement of multiple SkillsUSA members and students at the school or college from career and technical education (CTE) programs and may also use support from academic programs. The Chapter Display competition enables students to conceptualize a promotional and educational display, set goals for creating the display and develop and execute a plan for constructing the display. In the process of constructing the Chapter Display, students will have a hands-on opportunity to get involved in developing an effective design while working cooperatively with others as a team to construct the Chapter Display. Additional skills will include developing effective communications and demonstrating workplace skills such as those included in the SkillsUSA Framework. Purpose: The Chapter Display competition selects the outstanding promotional exhibit designed and constructed by SkillsUSA student members and other students at their school or college. The display is built around and articulates a common theme with sub themes that SkillsUSA estab- lishes annually, as well as a focus on the SkillsUSA Framework. The final product should be an exhibit (display) that reveals how SkillsUSA student members enrolled in Career and Technical Education (CTE) are preparing for leadership in the world of work and will enter the workforce with the skills described in the SkillsUSA Framework.
