Hello Friends,

I hope you have had a great lead up into our holiday break. Shortly after we come back, things will be underway for CTSO competitions. 

The email below was requested to pass along to anyone who may be interested in helping out. 

Please read it and forward to at least 10 people to avoid every ounce of bad luck that a baker's dozen of black cats crossing your path could give you.

Hey y'all,

We are still missing a few Education Team Leaders (ETL) on our SkillsUSA Utah Contests Committee.  If you regularly register students for any of these contests that makes you a part of the education team for that contest.  The ETL is responsible for communicating with their fellow educators on the team, and a technical chair from industry who is in charge of the other industry partners that are running and scoring the contest.  We CANNOT run these contests without an ETL to help us coordinate everything for the contest.  The following contests are missing ETLs, and WILL NOT be held unless someone steps up to help us in this position:

• Architectural Drafting
• Cabinetmaking
• Commercial Roofing
• Criminal Justice
• Early Childhood Education
• Emergency Medical Technician
• Graphic Communications
• Graphics Imaging Sublimation
• Information Technology Service
• Interactive Application & Video Game Design
• Nail Care
• Occupational Health & Safety
• Team Works
• Technical Drafting

The position doesn't require a lot of extra time.  You'll check in with us once a month on the second Thursday of the month, and work with your Technical Committee Chair and education team to ensure that our planning goals and deadlines are met.  You'll also need to be at the contest to check students in, and coordinate communication between the judges, advisors, and us.

If you are an Information Technology instructor, we are also looking for a Career Pathway Co-Chair to help us coordinate with the teams for those contests. You would be responsible with helping us coordinate with the teams for four of the contests in that pathway; 3D Visualization & Animation, Computer Programming, Electronics Technology, and Interactive Application & Video Game Design

Please email us directly if you are willing to help us with one or more of these contests.

Thank you,
