For SkillsUSA
One place to run your SkillsUSA state association.
State directors and chapter advisors coordinate championships across dozens of trade, technical, and skilled service occupations while managing membership and conferences. CTSO Central brings it all together in one platform built around how SkillsUSA operates.
SkillsUSA management software is a platform that helps state associations and chapter advisors run the day-to-day operations of their SkillsUSA program. This includes managing member rosters across middle school, high school, and college/postsecondary divisions, collecting dues, registering attendees for district, regional, state, and national conferences, administering SkillsUSA Championships spanning over 100 trade, technical, and leadership contests, coordinating industry judges and evaluators, delivering written knowledge tests, calculating placements, and publishing results. Most state SkillsUSA associations currently piece this together using a combination of legacy tools, spreadsheets, and manual processes. CTSO Central is a purpose-built SkillsUSA management platform from Clearpoint Business Group that brings all of these capabilities into one system. It replaces the need for separate contest registration, scoring, and membership tools with a single, modern interface that works on any device.
