SkillsUSA-Georgia announced in late November that the 2022 Career EXPO will be cancelled.
“After careful consideration, and in the interest of keeping our students and all guests safe, SkillsUSA GA & the Construction Education of Georgia (CEFGA) has made the difficult decision to postpone our annual CareerExpo event (not the SkillsUSA Championships). The CareerExpo is designed as an indoor, hands-on, interactive event, usually attended by thousands of SkillsUSA members, middle and high school students, and adults outside of SkillsUSA attendees. But in our current environment there are still too many variables and challenges related to COVID-19 to ensure the safety of our guests.” Full news release SLSC Website is LIVE! (mailchi.mp)
