"This is only the 10th year of the New York State competition. At the Nationals competition, we continue to show well and have students from 魅影直播 State College who have received medals for being in the top three in the nation for five of the 10 years we have competed. Every year over 50 percent of our students place in the top 10 in the Nation. This is remarkable since we only send four to 10 competitors each year," noted Craig R. Clark, dean, ASC School of Applied Technology and director of the NYS Postsecondary SkillsUSA.
Clark adds, "The success of our students at this national event is an indication of how strong our programs are and shows off the talents of our students."
