Three SUNY Delhi students are headed for the nationals in a career skills competition after winning top prizes at the New York State level.
SkillsUSA -- formerly known as the "Skill Olympics" -- is a national competition for vocational and technical skills, pitting students across the country against one another in career-related events like producing a radio spot, performing aircraft maintenance tasks, or conducting a crime scene investigation.
At the New York State SkillsUSA competition on March 24, SUNY Delhi student Phil Bianchi of Montauk took first prize in automotive service. Jonathon Cusimano of Vestal and Andrew Marsh of Elmira Heights took first and second place in carpentry.
Bianchi and Cusimano will go on to represent SUNY Delhi at the national competition in June, at SkillsUSA's National Leadership and Skills Conference in Kansas City.
