A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE 
THE YORK TECHNICAL COLLEGE SKILLSUSA TEAM ON WINNING THE 2025 SKILLSUSA 
NATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND SKILLS CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE IN THE FIELDS OF 
NURSING ASSISTING AND CAREER PATHWAYS IET AND TO EXTEND TO THE TEAM BEST WISHES 
FOR MUCH CONTINUED SUCCESS IN ALL ITS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, ready for the 
challenge, the members of the York Technical College (York Tech) SkillsUSA team 
competed at the 2025 SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in 
Atlanta, Georgia, and came away with four national title winners among their 
ranks. It was the third consecutive year the college had earned national 
champion status, this time in the areas of nursing assisting (one gold winner) 
and career pathways IET (three gold winners). These wins marked a historic 
milestone in South Carolina's technical education landscape; and

Whereas, at this year's 
national competition, York Tech sent twenty-seven students to compete across 
twenty-five career and technical fields. An extraordinary twenty-two of these 
students placed in the Top 10 nationally, with four gold medals, four silver 
medals, and three bronze medals awarded to the college's competitors; and

Whereas, these results 
place York Tech among the most successful SkillsUSA chapters in the nation and 
reflect the strength of the school's workforce development programs in fields 
such as engineering, health sciences, building construction, nursing, and advanced 
manufacturing; and

Whereas, bearing an 
influence beyond medals and rankings, these accomplishments reflect the life-changing 
impact of career and technical education. Many of York Tech's students are 
first-generation college students, and several already have secured employment, 
internships, or promotions as a direct result of their SkillsUSA experience. 
They are hardworking, resilient, and eager to serve the growing skilled-labor 
needs of South Carolina, and their stories exemplify the power of technical 
education and demonstrate the pipeline of talent being developed in York 
County; and

Whereas, Allison Terry, 
department chair for building construction trades and director for SkillsUSA at 
York Technical College, led the college's efforts to assist team members in 
reaching their highest potential at the national competition, with the outstanding 
support of a team of student advisors; and

Whereas, pleased and 
proud, the South Carolina House takes great pleasure in saluting the York Tech 
SkillsUSA team for its exceptional achievements at the 2025 SkillsUSA National 
Leadership and Skills Conference. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, congratulate the York Technical College SkillsUSA team on 
winning the 2025 SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference 
Championship title in the fields of nursing assisting and career pathways IET 
and extend to the team best wishes for much continued success in all its future 
endeavors.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Dr. Stacey Moore, president, and 
Allison Terry, director for SkillsUSA, of York Technical College.
