Amidst the excitement of the SkillsUSA State Competition, the largest gathering of America's future skilled workforce, from April 4 through 7 in Ontario, California, students from the Silicon Valley Career Technical Education (SVCTE) center came together to show off their skills and compete.

As the event unfolded, the bustling halls of the competition venue buzzed with the energy and enthusiasm of 5,000 students statewide participating in the CTE competitions, including 78 SVCTE students, each ready to leave their mark. Their dedication and commitment to excellence resulted in a remarkable achievement: a total of 11 medals—4 gold, 4 silver, and 3 bronze—representing the culmination of their tireless efforts and SVCTE’s ongoing pursuit of excellence across diverse skill domains. Only one gold medal is awarded to a student for each competition category.

Students who competed in the SkillsUSA competition represent a variety of partner school districts, including Campbell Union High School District, East Side Union High School District, Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District, Milpitas Unified High School District, San Jose Unified School District, Santa Clara County Office of Education, and Santa Clara Unified School District. This broad participation underscores the program's inclusive and wide-reaching impact, drawing talent from across the region. 

Students advance through competitions at the local and state levels, with state winners going on to the national stage June 24–28 in Atlanta, Ga.
