California
Championships

SkillsUSA California organizes regional and state championships and actively engages in national championships. Participation in competitions serves as a valuable perk for members of SkillsUSA.

RLSC

Participation in regional leadership and skill conferences is a prerequisite for advancing to the state conference in all competitions. Chapter contest limits may apply. The regional contests will take place in a hybrid format. Members can enter into one Leadership or one Skill competitive event.

SLSC

Winners who qualify at the Regional Leadership and Skills Conference (RLSC) receive invitations to participate in the State Leadership and Skill Conference (SLSC). Those achieving gold at the SLSC move on to the national level. It's important to note that contests exclusive to California, held solely at the SLSC, do not progress to the National Leadership and Skills Conference (NLSC).

NLSC

Those securing gold at the State Leadership and Skill Conference (SLSC) earn invitations to represent California at the National Leadership and Skill Conference. This provides them with the opportunity to compete in nationally recognized contests against participants from across the country.
