On Wednesday, January 20, 2010, the SkillsUSA District I Competition took place on Johnson College’s campus. The College teamed up with the West Side Career and Technology Center, Kingston, to arrange this event.
SkillsUSA connects students and teachers of public career and technical programs with industry leaders, promoting a skilled workforce in America. The SkillsUSA Championship showcases the trade skills of students. The contest begins locally then continues to state and national levels.
Students from ten different vocational schools in Northeastern Pennsylvania competed in the District I Competition. Johnson College hosted exams in Automotive Service Specialization, Automotive Technician Technology, Precision Machining Technology, and Power Equipment Technology.
Johnson College students helped to administer the testing and Robert Murray ‘82, Automotive Technology Chair, Andrew Zwanch ‘82, Precision Machining Technology Chair, and Michael Novak, Diesel Truck Technology Chair, acted as judges.
