Chapter of excellence program
The Chapter Excellence Program (CEP) is the single best way to build a successful SkillsUSA chapter. The CEP recognizes achievement as it relates to the integration of the SkillsUSA Framework in chapter Program of Work (PoW) activities. There are three award levels to recognize program involvement. The first two levels are acknowledged by a chapter’s state association, and the third level is recognized nationally. Each level is designed to give chapters a benchmark for success and future improvement, leading to stronger chapters and better-prepared students. The more a chapter applies the Framework, the greater the chance for CEP honors, so go for the gold and gain the recognition your chapter deserves through CEP participation!
Level 1: Quality Chapter
This first level honors chapters for achieving essential standards of excellence. This will earn you a Quality Chapter Award.
Level 2: Chapter of Distinction
This second level recognizes chapters that go beyond baseline requirements, and Chapter of Distinction award winners may earn Bronze, Silver or Gold level Chapter of Distinction Award.
Level 3: Models of Excellence
Chapters in each state receiving a gold “Chapter of Distinction” award are eligible for national selection as a Models of Excellence chapter. 24 chapters will be selected at the national level as Models of Excellence. These chapters define excellence. Best practices will be gleaned from the award winners and shared with the field to serve as models for other chapters to emulate in strengthening their local programs. Eight chapters will be chosen to represent each component of the SkillsUSA Framework (Personal, Workplace and Technical Skills), and one winner representing each component will be chosen at SkillsUSA’s National Leadership & Skills Conference.
For more information, tips, tricks, and guides for submitting, view the National SkillsUSA Chapter of Excellence Program webpage.
The Chapter of Excellence Application deadline is February 1, 2026 11:59EST. Level 1 and Level 2 Awards will be distributed at the State Leadership and Skills Conference in April.
To complete your application, login to the SkillsUSA Registration site, click on Membership, and then on Chapter Excellence Program.
