The conference agendas include teambuilding, networking, problem solving, critical thinking, and much more!  Conference activities are designed to meet the Career and Technical Education standards of the Maine Learning Results.

 

 

Leadership Opportunities

Students learn to be leaders within their school and communities by participating in FCCLA projects and being elected to chapter and state offices.  This allows students to gain valuable experience running meetings, public speaking, and taking initiative to get things done!

These events are aligned with the Maine Learning Results, National Standards for Family and Consumer Sciences, and the U.S. Secretary of Labor’s plan (SCANS) that outlines the skills students’ need in to obtain employment in high-skilled and high-wage careers.
