SkillsUSA’s State Leadership & Skills Conference (SLSC) is the largest gathering of Massachusetts' future skilled workforce and the ultimate recognition of excellence in career and technical education. Held in Marlborough and Upton, Massachusetts each April, the SLSC is a 3 day celebration of the skilled trades and the accomplishments of career-ready leaders from across the Commonwealth. The event brings together more than 3,000 attendees, including students, instructors, industry partners, government officials, administrators and more.
