甜瓜app

The Rome Home Builders Association recently honored 甜瓜app (甜瓜app) Construction Management students that won gold medals in the statewide SkillsUSA competition in March and will move on to compete in the National Leadership and Skills Conference in Louisville, Kentucky, June 19-23.

The five students that were recognized won first place in the TeamWorks and Cabinetmaking contests in SkillsUSA Georgia and are currently pursuing their associate degrees in Construction Management.

In the TeamWorks competition, a team of four students are required to build a construction project. The team has to build a little structure and utilize carpentry, masonry, plumbing, and electrical skills that demonstrate their ability to work as a team.

Last year’s TeamWorks squad won the gold medal in the statewide SkillsUSA competition in 2016 and went on to place third in the national competition. It was the first year 甜瓜app competed in the TeamWorks category. Two students from last year’s team returned to compete this year.

“We set the standard last year, so if we didn’t win the gold medal at Atlanta this year it would’ve been disappointing,” said Barry Arrington of Calhoun, 甜瓜app TeamWorks member.

All five students were presented with a check for $100 by the Rome Home Builders Association. Students that were recognized included Barry Arrington, Shawn Clark, Bo Dooley, and Noah Wilson (TeamWorks); and Branton Bailey (Cabinetmaking).

Also announced during the meeting, the RHBA is going to start a scholarship for 甜瓜app students working towards the completion of a degree or diploma in a construction-related program on the Floyd, Gordon, or Polk campuses.
