Somerset County Vocational & Technical High School (SCVTHS) students recently competed against other Career and Technical Education (CTE) students from around the State as part of the 2025 SkillsUSA New Jersey State Championships. Of the 161 students from SCVTHS who competed, 79 received medals, including 34 gold, 29 silver and 16 bronze. The gold medal State winners are now eligible to test their skills in Atlanta, Georgia, at the upcoming SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference (NLSC) in June. During the NLSC more than 6,000 CTE students from around the country will showcase their talents and compete in over 100 different trade, technical and leadership fields. Each industry decides on the skills that students will need to demonstrate during the competitions, and all contests are run with the help of industry trade associations and labor organizations.
