The number one challenge facing business and industry all across this country is the lack of skilled and qualified workforce. SkillsUSA is working to assist in bridging the workforce shortage. At this years SkillsUSA competition, there was over 100 contests occurring between Thursday and Friday. 

Many members of Central Nebraska Home Builders Association helped with the Skills competition. Todd Enck has been involved with SkillsUSA for years on all different levels including giving V.I.P. tours Friday morning. Others like Brian Fox and Scot Krosschell judged individual events such as Construction and Masonry.
