Job Skill Demonstration A
The 2010 SkillsUSA Championships Technical Standards CD-ROM has a glitch.  There is a problem with the print button for Job Skill Demonstration A. Using the button prints out Job Skill Demonstration O. To get around this issue, you can select "Print" from the File menu of Acrobat Reader. In the dialog box that comes up, select "Pages", enter "71 -75", then click "Print." The Job Skill Demonstration A contest will then print separately.

However, if you prefer, we have also made the JSD-A contest guidelines available to download at no cost here.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
