Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
I learned that Through CTSO competitive events, members develop skills in communication, collaboration and problem solving; network with industry professionals; and learn how to adhere to deadlines. Participants also learn to take pride in their outcomes, both individually and in team events at local, state, regional, national and international levels
I learned that competitions and fundraising are both key parts of a strong CTSO program. Competitions push students to refine their technical and leadership skills, while fundraising helps build teamwork and responsibility. I plan to apply this by involving my Culinary Arts students in more SkillsUSA competitions and by organizing fundraisers, such as catering school events, to support travel costs and build pride in our program.
