Utah Leadership and Skills Conference (ULSC)
ULSC will be held March 28 & 29, 2024 at SLCC.  Conference registration is now open!  Regular registration is January 22 – February 21.  Registrations between Feb 22 – Feb 29 will incur a $10 late fee per registrant.  No registrations will be allowed past February 29th, so be sure to get that completed before the registration window closes.  When registering, remember that students should enter their personal email and not a school email.  This is important for testing information that will be sent early in March.  More details on the Utah Leadership and Skills Conference can be found at this link.

Advisors are required to register as state conference participants and pay the required conference registration fee. We require a student to advisor ratio of 1:10 for SkillsUSA Utah events. Advisors must supervise their students during all conference activities, in accordance with the local school, district, LEA policies and procedures.  See more at this link for the 2024 rules and regulations.
