Good luck to NDSCS students at National SkillsUSA competition on June 23-27, 2025.
The 2025 SkillsUSA National Competition is being held in Atlanta, Georgia during the annual National Leadership & Skills Conference (NLSC), a showcase of career and technical education students. Student competitors will work against the clock and each other, proving their expertise in the occupational category listed above. Contests are run with the help of industry, trade associations and labor organizations, and test competencies are set by the industry. We wish the very best to all NDSCS students who will be attending the National Competition, and showing off the knowledge and skills gained during their time on our campus.
Congratulations to NDSCS students for competing and placing in the 2025 ND State SkillsUSA competitions.
The ND State SkillsUSA competitions were held on the Bismarck State College campus on April 14, 2025, with some competitions being held at NDSCS in Wahpeton. Students participated in a wide range of occupational, trade, and leadership competitions during the events. Numerous NDSCS students took home winning awards and will travel to the National SkillsUSA competition in June to continue to showcase their knowledge and skills against other state winners from across the country — demonstrating their achievements on a national level.
