00:00.130 --> 00:02.840
- Good day, so what I'm gonna
do, is I'm gonna bring all

00:02.840 --> 00:06.684
the cars back and I'm
gonna run two against five.

00:06.684 --> 00:08.050
(crowd cheering)

00:08.050 --> 00:11.640
- Today is our Second
Annual SkillsUSA event.

00:11.640 --> 00:14.970
They're working with realistic
challenges, real scenarios,

00:14.970 --> 00:18.030
so they can feel what
they're learning in school

00:18.030 --> 00:19.860
and tie in much closer.

00:19.860 --> 00:21.230
(compressed air popping)

00:21.230 --> 00:24.060
It benefits students on many
fronts, knowing that a student

00:24.060 --> 00:25.900
is actually competing
in one of these events,

00:25.900 --> 00:30.270
tells employers and college
recruiters, that a student

00:30.270 --> 00:33.720
is thinking beyond the
classroom, that they are actually

00:33.720 --> 00:36.350
completely vested into their
particular area of expertise.

00:36.350 --> 00:38.040
- [Man] So you can do
surgical crime sites on him.

00:38.040 --> 00:40.480
- We need to provide our
DoD students an opportunity

00:40.480 --> 00:41.790
to get what they can't have in the States

00:41.790 --> 00:44.560
which is an opportunity to work
with industry professionals

00:44.560 --> 00:47.490
and build the CTE experience,

00:47.490 --> 00:48.930
that's what we're doing.
- [Man] Three two, one,

00:48.930 --> 00:51.759
blows!
(air hissing)

00:51.759 --> 00:52.868
(laughing)
