The competition drew over 6,800 students from across the United States and territories, with Maryland students excelling in diverse fields such as Culinary Arts, Criminal Justice, Firefighting, Photography, and Early Childhood Education. Gold medals were awarded to state competitors in Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Sheet Metal, and Promotional Bulletin Board. Silver and bronze medals were distributed across multiple disciplines, showing the depth of talent statewide.
Students from Anne Arundel, Carroll, Calvert, Frederick, Cecil, Washington, Montgomery, Charles, Worcester, Somerset, and St. Mary’s counties were among the winners and top-10 finishers.

Many of the events Maryland students competed in — including Nurse Assisting, Mobile Robotics, and Internetworking — align with in-demand career fields in health care, public safety, and technology. Success in these areas may help local school districts attract additional support or funding for their CTE offerings. Families and communities can also expect better-prepared graduates, with hands-on experience and nationally recognized skills, entering local job markets in the years ahead.
The SkillsUSA competition provides a critical benchmark for evaluating the readiness of students to meet real-world job demands. With 26 medalists and over 40 students finishing in the top 10, Maryland’s workforce pipeline is showing promising strength.
