Students from various technical schools throughout Pennsylvania, including Middle Bucks Institute of Technology, competed in the 2024 SkillsUSA State Competitions held in Hershey, Pennsylvania.. 5 Competitions won gold (10 students), 2 won silver (4 students), and 2 won Bronze!

SkillsUSA is the national organization for students in trade, industrial, and technical education. It sponsors the SkillsUSA Championships annually to recognize the achievements of career and technical students, and to encourage them to strive for excellence and pride in their chosen occupations. The contests are planned by technical committees comprised of representatives of labor and management and are designed to test the skills needed for successful entry-level performance in given occupational fields. In addition to competitions focusing on technical skills, students have the opportunity to demonstrate their leadership abilities. Leadership development contests include areas concentrating on public speaking, job interview, business procedure, and professionalism.

The 8 of the gold medal winners will advance to the National SkillsUSA Leadership and Skills Conference in Atlanta, Georgia in June 2024.

Students from our Medical and Health Professions program recently had an incredible opportunity to attend a specialized career fair tailored specifically to Allied Health and Nursing students. This event provided a unique platform for our students to interact with leading professionals and experts in the field, offering valuable insights and networking opportunities.

It was an enriching experience that has undoubtedly inspired and motivated our students as they pursue their careers in healthcare.

Level 200 and 300 Building Trades and Occupations, students showcased their skills in drywall installation, demonstrating great precision and craftsmanship. The students' attention to detail was evident in the perfect cuts and fits, resulting in a seamless finish.
