This month, we're proud to spotlight The AED Foundation, the Gold Sponsor of our Bowties & Blueprints Gala.

The AED Foundation is working to close the equipment industry's technician shortage. It accredits college equipment technology programs, recognizes high school diesel technology programs, and connects students with rewarding careers at equipment dealerships across North America.

Through its Gold-level partnership, The AED Foundation is helping SkillsUSA Washington students gain hands-on experience, build confidence, and see the career pathways available to them in the skilled trades.

We're grateful to have The AED Foundation as a SkillsUSA Washington partner and for their investment in our students.
