Texas Programs of Study Texas Programs of Study TEXAS PROGRAMS OF STUDY SkillsUSA Texas supports students enrolled in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs approved by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The TEA Program of Study framework serves as the primary basis for organizing SkillsUSA Texas technical competitions and aligning competitive events with students' educational pathways. Students should participate in competitions that align with their current TEA Program of Study or related Career and Technical Education coursework. The official SkillsUSA Texas Career Pathway Crosswalk identifies the relationship between TEA Programs of Study and SkillsUSA competitive events and serves as a guide for competition alignment. The SkillsUSA Texas State Office may update the Career Pathway Crosswalk and competition alignments administratively as the Texas Education Agency revises Programs of Study, SkillsUSA National updates Technical Standards, or new competitions are introduced.
