The Golden Gate Bridge. The Empire State Building. The Space Shuttle. The Internet. These are the accomplishments of America's skilled work force. Today, the products skilled workers create and the services they provide touch all of our lives. It takes real skill to build a house, to repair a car, to design a computer program or to provide health care.
Our quality of life is at risk. There aren't enough highly skilled employees to meet America's burgeoning needs for products and services. Businesses cite this shortage as their No. 1 problem. The national Council on Competitiveness states: "The skills shortage has created a buildup of pressure that is forcing employers, workers, educators, community leaders and public officials to communicate more closely."
One organization, SkillsUSA, is a pioneer in forging these alliances in communities across the United States - alliances that are closing the skills gap. In our high schools and community colleges, nearly one-quarter-million students join the SkillsUSA partnership. They work with their teachers and business partners to gain the occupational skills America needs, and more.
