SkillsUSA has awarded an official red jacket to College View High School senior and CVHS SkillsUSA President Roseanne Jaouhari, as part of the newly launched Journey of a Jacket Program.

In total, SkillsUSA awarded 50 SkillsUSA jackets to SkillsUSA members in 17 states. This new program, launched in October 2021, invited SkillsUSA members from across the nation to apply to receive their own official jacket. To apply, the students submitted an essay plus a letter of recommendation from their SkillsUSA advisor.

“The jacket is a gift from our generous sponsors and is a symbol that the member is supported and valued,” said SkillsUSA Executive Director Chelle Travis. “It’s also an opportunity to help each student feel like a professional and showcase SkillsUSA pride by wearing organization attire.”

"I really love SkillsUSA and everything it does for people,” Jaouhari said. “It gives us so many opportunities, so I'm really happy to have the jacket and represent us outside of school. It means a lot to be a member because it has given me a lot of experience with leadership and teamwork. I can speak very freely now. I used to be very introverted, so now it has given me the confidence to speak out in front of people as well.”
