McKenzie, Tenn.–Tennessee College of Applied Technology McKenzie is celebrating SkillsUSA week with some friendly competitions between the programs. SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers, and industries working together to ensure America has a skilled workforce. A favorite among the programs is the Door Decorating Competition. Students design and build a SkillsUSA themed display to fit on their door. The doors are then judged by staff. Automotive Technology, led by instructor Dan Townsend, came in first place receiving a donut party and 1,000 pennies to go towards the program in the Penny Drive Competition. The Automotive door decoration was completed as a class effort.
