Augusta, GA, June 27, 2023
Augusta Technical College Design Media and Production Technology (DMPT) student Emily Pinto has been elected to serve as a 2023-2024 SkillsUSA National Officer.
The national officer team leads national conferences including the upcoming 2023 SkillsUSA Washington Leadership Training

They attend national events and advocate for career and technical education at the request of the SkillsUSA national Executive Director and the national Board of Directors. Emily served as our 2022-2023 SkillsUSA Georgia Postsecondary State

The process to become a national officer was a rigorous process including earning the SkillsUSA Framework Certification, earning the CTE Knowledge Certification, earning the Career Essentials Credential (a nearly 30 hour course), passing a SkillsUSA written exam, participating in an interview by national education and industry leaders, and earning a majority of national delegate votes.
Emily has been supported every step of the way by her amazing instructor and advisor DMPT Department Head Sherrie Rowe.
