Southwest Minnesota Technical Skills Challenge 

For seven years, the Southwest Minnesota Technical Skills Challenge has brought 9-12 grade students together to compete in exciting events to test their skills and creativity.  Once again industry professionals and instructors from post-secondary training programs at Minnesota West Community and Technical College have developed an interesting and challenging competition.   Students will have the opportunity to compete as individuals or teams, depending on the events they choose.

With the expansion of the Minnesota West Carl Perkins Consortium, we’ve added a second event site for your convenience.  This year’s events are scheduled for Friday, April 24 at the Minnesota West- Jackson Campus and Thursday, April 30 at the Minnesota West- Granite Falls Campus. All competitions will be held at both campuses.
