Lorain County JVS and SkillsUSA Signing Day Event 2021
Our second annual Lorain County JVS and SkillsUSA Signing Day event will be held on May 4, 2021 at the Lorain County JVS. This event is part of a nationwide celebration showcasing our graduating high school seniors that have committed to full-time employment in their skilled trade after graduation. We invite business partners, school administrators, teachers, elected officials, SkillsUSA alumni, family and friends to honor our students as they sign "letters of intent" for a job offer, apprenticeship, or advanced technical training.
COVID-19 Safety Protocol
This event will be in-person and outside, rain or shine. All attendees will be required to wear a face mask and follow social distancing protocols. In order to minimize the group size, we will have two sessions - 9am to 10am for the Building Trades Academy and 11am to 12pm for all other trade academies.
Registration is required for all attendees. Registration closes on Sunday, May 2.
