This past week, ten Ogden-Weber Technical College students represented the college and the State of Utah at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference. The conference was held in Louisville, Ky. with over 16,000 students, teachers, and business partners attending. All ten competitors and their advisors represented the state and our community with distinction.
This SkillsUSA competition highlights the very best and talented technical education students from around the country. Three Ogden-Weber Tech students were awarded national championship medals in their respective competitions.
