Missing PA Scopes

We are aware of the missing PA Scopes. We are at the mercy of our volunteers - that do an amazing job supporting us - they are doing their best to get the competition instructions to you. Please be patient. The goal was February 2nd. As of this post, we are still missing 21 of 98. Four of the 21 are still missing State Chairs. How can you help our PA Team?

 

UPDATE 3/8/23 - 4 missing scopes and one Chair needed

 

  • PLEASE review the Help Wanted Alert #14. We need your help to fill these positions. 

  • Leadership Competitions follow the NTS located in Absorb. 

  • Skilled and Occupationally Related Competitions can follow the NTS to prepare until the PA Scope is added. 

  • Check the Competition Scopes Tab (Under States) often.

JSD A - Any skill may be demonstrated, provided it is a skill related to the occupational program of the competitor.

Page 3, Line 3 NTS - Competition Guidelines

JSD Open - Any technical skill may be demonstrated. The skill does not have to relate to the occupational program of the competitor.

Page 3, Line 3 NTS - Competition Guidelines

A is very clear, but we often ponder Open.

Direct from Nationals: The JSD Open technical skill does not have to relate to the program of study, but it CAN relate to the program of study. NTS Purpose: To evaluate each competitor’s ability to demonstrate and explain an entry-level technical skill used either in the occupational area for which he or she is training or outside the training area.
