Career-ready students demo skills at annual CTSO events

09-Apr-2015

Two conventions for Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) allowed students from around the state to show off their skills and talents in a variety of fields and specialties. Top finishers qualify for national competitions this year.

​​​​Hawaii students shined at twin annual events that focus on career aspirations, supported through their local Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO):

  • ​​Association of Marketing Students (DECA)
  • Future Health Professionals (HOSA)
  • Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA)
  • SkillsUSA

The 2015 CTSO Convention was held at the Hawaii Convention Center Feb. 10-11, and the National FFA Organization State Convention, which focuses on agriculture-related fields, was held at Maui Community College Feb. 26-28.

Congratulations to all the competitors and good luck to those students moving on to their respective national events!
