Delaware Student Delegation Excels At SkillsUSA National Conference
June 25, 2026/
Delaware students brought home six national championships at the 2026 SkillsUSA National Leadership & Skills Conference in Atlanta earlier this month, also earning 44 industry-recognized Skill Point Certificates. According to the Delaware Department of Education, a record 119 students and advisors represented the First State, demonstrating the knowledge, technical skills, and professionalism that prepare students for success in high-demand careers. These accomplishments show students applying their learning, solving problems, and demonstrating the technical and professional skills employers value. They also reflect the work happening every day in Delaware public schools, where educators, families, and industry partners are helping students build pathways to successful futures. The results cap a year of unprecedented growth for SkillsUSA Delaware, which reached record highs with 1,233 student members and 20 active chapters statewide. State education officials say the growth reflects increasing opportunities for students to engage in career-connected learning and gain experience aligned to Delaware’s workforce needs.Â
