Testimonials

“I am very excited about the possibilities of Engineering Alliance! This provides a needed link that allows PLTW, TSA, and Skills USA to work/interact collectively in the pursuit of problem solving. The activities/experiences provided through EA allow for the PLTW curriculum to become realistic and personal… experiences that will be remembered for a lifetime.”

“The partnership of TSA, PLTW and SkillsUSA in the Engineering Alliance has created an exciting opportunity for our pre-engineering students. The Engineering Alliance program will provide the Project Lead the Way instructor with resources to address many of the “soft” skills that are required for tomorrow’s engineers. Our business partners have expressed a need for skills such as leadership, teamwork, communication and problem solving to be addressed throughout our curriculum. Participating in the Engineering Alliance will help our students master these important skills.”

“Of all the things I have done over the years to promote technology education, becoming a Technology Student Association advisor by far has had the most impact on my students and my professional development. I highly recommend being an active part of a student organization that is dedicated to furthering the principles of leadership, teamwork, and responsibility.”

“Involvement with TSA helps high school students make informed choices about technological career options through dynamic, problem solving activities in the classroom, development of leadership skills and participation in competitive events. The TSA State Conference is the highlight of the school year for students enrolled in technology education courses in New Jersey. It provides them with the unique opportunity of competing with other students from around the state.”

“SkillsUSA helps my students maximize their educational and employment opportunities. SkillsUSA fosters greater visibility for our colleges, which in turn results in hiring opportunities for my graduates and product donations and training partnerships for my programs.”

“SkillsUSA empowers students enrolled in career and technology programs to set goals beyond entry-level employment. Through SkillsUSA sponsored leadership training opportunities and the Professional Development Program, students excel in the soft skills that employers value. The SkillsUSA partnerships with business, industry and postsecondary educators validate our students' technical training. SkillsUSA has something for everyone!”
