CUESTA COLLEGE
CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY TEAM BRINGS HOME NATIONAL AWARD
Cuesta
College Construction Technology Team won a bronze medal in the
Postsecondary category at the TeamWorks SkillsUSA competition, which was
held on June 19 – June 23 in Kansas City, Missouri.
This is the
first year the Cuesta College Construction Technology Team has attended
the TeamWorks SkillsUSA competition. The winning team consisted of
Cuesta College students James Schwind, Joe Valente,
Nick Luciani and Jordan Jacobsma.
The
SkillsUSA Team Works competition requires a team of four to build a
joint project in two days, demonstrating their preparation for
employment in residential construction. Team members must: analyze a
project drawing; write an action plan and give a presentation (in which
each team member is required to have an active part); and demonstrate
their ability to work as a team performing skills in residential
carpentry, plumbing, electricity and masonry. They are also judged on
cleanliness for jobsite, timeliness of completing the project, and
proper ordering and inventorying of tools and equipment.
SkillsUSA is
the national organization for students in trade, industrial, technical
and health occupations education. It sponsors the SkillsUSA
Championships annually to recognize the achievements of career and
technical education students and to encourage them to strive for
excellence and pride in their chosen occupations.
