Seeing is believing! Everyone is invited to come and see the amazingly talented students in our state's high school construction programs compete in a variety of trades.
AGC Georgia is partnering with Ace Electric, Inc, Choate Construction Company and West Construction Company to host construction students from high schools in 22 counties for the Southeast Georgia Skills Challenge. This Skills Challenge is one of eight regional events held throughout Georgia that will host over 2,300 students from nearly 100 schools. Competitions held at the Southeast Georgia Skills Challenge are: blueprint reading, carpentry, electrical, heavy equipment operation, masonry, plumbing, roofing and welding.
With nearly 200 students participating in the Southeast Georgia Skills Challenge, several hundred additional students will observe in hopes of competing in the future. These students will also benefit from conversations with construction industry professionals who host interactive activities for students to become more familiar with specific construction trades.
Students from construction programs in the following counties are given priority registration to compete in the Southeast Georgia Skills Challenge: Appling, Bacon, Brantley, Bryan, Bulloch, Camden, Candler, Chatham, Effingham, Emanuel, Evans, Glynn, Jeff Davis, Jenkins, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, Montgomery, Pierce, Screven, Tattnall, Telfair, Toombs, Treutlen, Wayne and Wheeler.
Students who are members of SkillsUSA Georgia and compete in carpentry, electrical, masonry, plumbing and welding at this event are eligible to earn a bid to the State Leadership and Skills Competition (SLSC) that will be held in February 2024.
