About SkillsUSA

SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled work force. The national organization helps students excel in training programs and future technical, skilled and service careers, including health occupations.

SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference

SkillsUSA returns to Kansas City June 21-June 26, 2009 where 5,000 outstanding career and technical education students—all state contest winners—compete hands-on in 91 different trade, technical and leadership fields. Students work against the clock and each other, proving their expertise in occupations such as automotive refinishing, electronics, precision machining, culinary arts and more.

Sharpe will offer student coaching and provide sets of RAZOR spray guns and accessories to the top three winners, with additional products going to their schools where the RAZOR spray guns will help other students learn the automotive refinishing trade in years to come.

TECHSPO, the SkillsUSA trade show

Sharpe will also be at TECHSPO, June 23-25, where professional painter Justin Barnes of JB Grafix will be signing autographs in Sharpe Booth #303 on June 23 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Justin painted a Harley-Davidson^® Super Glide^® motorcycle with RAZOR spray guns that will be raffled off to raise money to support SkillsUSA programs, along with three $2800 waterborne prizes from Sharpe.

"SkillsUSA is thrilled with the addition of Sharpe to the Harley-Davidson raffle and welcome them as an Official Sponsor in 2009. We look forward to their presence at the National Leadership and Skills Conference and to a lasting partnership," said Tim Lawrence, SkillsUSA Executive Director.
