WLTI Background & Training Program
Leader • Citizen • Employee

The Power of One

SkillsUSA offers advanced training for students and advisors that focuses on the skills needed to be champions at work, in the communities and in their personal lives. It’s known as the Washington Leadership Training Institute (WLTI). Student attendees must apply to attend the conference which will focus on developing advanced leadership, citizenship and employability skills.

To help students learn how an individual can effect change, sessions will cover the following areas:

The impact of the individual as a leader

  • Developing influence: how to manage for success
  • Communicating: how to deliver persuasive messages
  • Leading others: how to delegate and motivate

The impact of the individual as a citizen

  • Decision making: having an impact on a local event
  • Serving the community: developing altruism and influence
  • Legislating: how government leaders effect change

The impact of the individual as an employee

  • Risk taking: a dialog about success and failure
  • Facilitating growth: teaching and reinforcing employability in others
  • Becoming a change agent: developing vision and exercising focus

Other WLTI activities will include:

  • Congressional visits
  • Touring the Smithsonian Institution and Washington area monuments
  • Laying of a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns, Arlington, Va.
  • National Statesman program
  • Town meeting/business roundtable

Advisor Sessions

Like students, advisors will have opportunities to learn how to be change agents for career and technical education. Sessions for advisors will inspire advisors to lead the change process in their schools and districts, develop strategies to gain support for education issues, motivate supporters and learn from those who take risks.
