Exciting Updates to the Chapter Excellence Program (CEP)!
Roberta Tilleman
Dear SkillsUSA Advisors,
We’re thrilled to share some exciting updates to the Chapter Excellence Program (CEP) that will make it easier—and more rewarding—than ever to integrate into your SkillsUSA chapter meetings!
The CEP is the backbone of a strong SkillsUSA chapter, helping students develop leadership, teamwork, and career-readiness skills through meaningful goal setting and project-based learning. By incorporating the CEP into your meetings, your students will:
- Build stronger leadership and communication skills.
- Learn how to plan and execute projects that make a real impact in your school and community.
- Strengthen their chapter’s identity and recognition at both the state and national levels.
What’s New:
Students can now complete the CEP application directly through the Pathful platform, making the process smoother and more student-driven than ever! We’ve also provided an updated link to new and exciting CEP resources, along with a helpful video to guide you through the enhancements. Video Here:
We’re also excited to announce that our Fall Leadership Conference workshops will feature an in-depth session on how to apply for the Level One CEP application, giving both advisors and students hands-on guidance to set your chapter up for success.
For additional personalized support, please reach out to Marsha Strickland at SkillsUSA to schedule an appointment for deeper CEP training. You can also explore all available materials and tutorials on the SkillsUSA website.(https://www.skillsusa.org/programs/chapter-building/chapter-excellence-program-cep/)
Let’s make this year the strongest yet for your chapter—start your CEP journey today and help your students champion their future!
With enthusiasm,
Roberta Tilleman
State Director, SkillsUSA Montana
