National Courtesy Corps
Nominations for NLSC Courtesy Corps
SkillsUSA needs more than 120 National Courtesy Corps (NCC) members for the National Leadership & Skills Conference (NLSC) to make sure the event runs smoothly. The work of this group supports the technical committees and is deeply appreciated. This is a great opportunity for students to network with industry partners and experience the national conference.
NCC candidates should work with their local chapter advisor to seek approval of their state SkillsUSA director. For the name and address of your state SkillsUSA director, visit: www.skillsusa.org/who-we-are/leaders-and-partners/association-directors/
Student members must be accompanied by a state-approved chaperone (e.g., school instructor and/or SkillsUSA advisor) who remains in residence at the Georgia Tech facility. This chaperone must participate in the National Courtesy Corps (NCC) program and work alongside their student(s) performing similar duties/responsibilities. Prior to arrival, the designated chaperone for the state/school group is required to complete a housing assignment form as part of their responsibilities. For more information, review the full Courtesy Corps eligibility requirements.
NCC members receive free conference registration plus housing, local transportation, meals and entertainment. Each member is given several free shirts to wear during the week. All NCC participants are housed at Georgia Tech’s Woodruff North Residence Hall in Atlanta. This campus is about 8-10 minutes from the Georgia World Congress Center.
NCC members are responsible for their own transportation to and from Atlanta and should arrive on Saturday, June 22, by 4 p.m., so they can start to work in the competition areas on Sunday, June 23. Departure is on Saturday, June 29. SkillsUSA will provide individual schedules for students and advisors listing work assignments and breaks. There will be an advisors-only session to review supervisory duties and responsibilities.
Questions can be directed to Boyd Hestand at bhestand@SkillsUSA.org. The NCC candidates’ nomination form link will be posted here.
