Eligibility

SkillsUSA California is a statewide Total Participation Plan Campus Affiliation (TPP/CA) for all middle and high school chapters. The affiliation fees paid by chapters offset instructional materials costs for the State Association so that we can make the instructional materials available to all middle and high school student members and advisors as requested. As a result, the affiliation fees are an allowable expenditure for Carl D. Perkins and CTE Incentive Grant (CTEIG) funds. Here are the middle and high school Chapter qualifications and how to receive the educational resources:

​

• Be an active SkillsUSA California TPP Chapter

• Be Registered Middle or High School Members of SkillsUSA California

• Each Program in a chapter must have a minimum of one advisor/professional member

• Complete an online order form with the state office
   

Note: Post-secondary Chapters are currently not eligible for the TPP/CA program. However, curriculum materials can be purchased from the national association through the chapter for an additional cost. For more information, please contact customercare@skillsusa.org 

​

​Process & Guidelines

Once you have registered all your students as members of your chapter, each advisor/teacher will need to order access to Career Essentials or Framework Certification. (This is not automatic)
 

• You may only order enough for the registered students. (This will be verified by the national office.)

• You can add new members and order additional access at any time

 

Additional Information for Career Essentials

• You may order a combination of levels. However, we recommend that you start with Exploratory for Middle School and Fundamentals for High School. A Career Essentials Coach can assist you with this choice.

• You can schedule a one-on-one or group training with the national Career Essential Coaches.

• You will get access to one complete suite per member. (Pre-Assessment, Experiences, and Post-Assessment). Additional levels or assessments may be purchased directly from the national office.

• Complete this form in the link below.

• A national staff member will contact you within 72 hours to complete the ordering process.
