Delaware students made their mark on the national stage earlier this month, taking home six championship titles from the 2026 SkillsUSA National Leadership & Skills Conference held in Atlanta.
In addition to the six national championships, the delegation earned 44 industry-recognized Skill Point Certificates — a credential that reflects hands-on technical ability in high-demand fields.
This year’s Delaware contingent was the largest in state history, with a record 119 students and advisors traveling to Atlanta to compete. The group showcased a combination of technical knowledge, professional skills, and real-world problem-solving abilities.
Officials noted that the results reflect students putting their classroom learning into action and demonstrating the kind of readiness that employers in high-demand careers are looking for.
