looking for more ways to continue in that vein.

Kelly Evans has always been intrigued
with designing fabulous interiors. In fact,
she loved the interior design field so much
that she pursued her bachelor’s degree in
it. However while earning her degree, she
still felt as if she were lacking an important
technical skill she needed to become a
standout. “As I was working toward my
bachelor’s degree I still felt I was missing
the computer skills that I needed as a
professional in my field.”
Kelly chose to enhance her Interior Design
degree with a CAD (Computer-Aided

finding the good life
Without a doubt, Sioux Falls and the surrounding region is a great place to live, work and play. However, many of its residents may be
selling themselves short when it comes to career aspirations. According to the US Census Bureau, only 24.6% of Sioux Falls residents
had a bachelor’s degree or higher in 2009 compared to 26.3% in Fargo, ND; while a 2008 competitive assessment performed by Atlanta
based firm Market St noted that just 38.7% of Sioux Falls adults had an associate’s degree or higher. In an era of tight budgets and an
even tighter workforce, Southeast Tech President Jeff Holcomb shares his thoughts on how Southeast Tech can help upgrade the local
workforce and empower area residents to capture the good life.

national office
Wade Persson sets his sights high as
student, community steward and as
national representative.
Collison Repair & Refinish Technology graduate and current
Automotive Technology student Wade Persson is a great guy. Always
willing to put in extra effort for others, he has made it a priority in his
life to be a leader in many respects. He shares, “I’ve always thought
it’s important to contribute to community service. I’m involved in
Big Brothers, I’m an Eagle Scout and I work with United Way ‘Youth
as Resources’ because I like to get out and help people. I figure if you
take the time to help others that can be your way to help solve the
world’s problems right there.” Qualities that have no doubt helped
him rise to success within the SkillsUSA organization.
A national organization, SkillsUSA is focused on creating a
“partnership of students, teachers and industry working together
to ensure America has a skilled workforce. SkillsUSA helps each
student excel.” No small task, SkillsUSA’s mission is to “help its
members become world-class workers, leaders and responsible
American citizens.”
Student-leadership focused, SkillsUSA encourages and provides
resources for the development of soft skills for participating students.
Skills stressed include public speaking, proper business meeting and
dinner etiquette, resumé building and interview skills.
For Wade, membership in SkillsUSA has been an opportunity of a
lifetime. “I currently hold the National 2011-2012 College Postsecondary National Parliamentarian office. I have also previously
served as Southeast Tech’s SkillsUSA President and as South Dakota’s
“SkillsUSA is a great organization that
every student should try. Membership
looks good on a resumé and it betters you
as a person because you’re active and
out in the community. We are the second
largest student organization in the nation
behind FFA.” – Wade Persson
State Secretary and President.”
Voted into national office in June, Wade spent nearly two weeks
in Virginia next to Washington D.C. for training at the SkillsUSA
headquarters. Networking with top industry leaders was a definite
bonus. “I got to meet the National Executive Director Tim Lawrence
who has held that position for 10 years. I also met representatives
from Caterpillar, Toyota and Harley Davidson who are all big
sponsors of SkillsUSA.” LB
