Which statement describes the SkillsUSA Values as listed?

• A. Integrity, respect, responsibility, citizenship, and excellence.
• B. To empower students to become skilled professionals, career-ready leaders and responsible community members.
• C. A statement that expresses pride in work, belief in education, dignity of labor, and service to others.
• D. A symbol made up of specific elements that represent the organization's purpose and values.

Answer: (C)

SkillsUSA Values are presented as a concise statement about the commitments members uphold: pride in work, belief in education, dignity of labor, and service to others. This framing highlights how members should approach their work and interactions—valuing quality, learning, respect for all work, and helping others. The other descriptions refer to things other than the official values statement: a list of individual virtues, a mission-like purpose, or a description of the emblem. This is why the statement about pride in work, belief in education, dignity of labor, and service to others best captures how SkillsUSA formally presents its Values.
