In what year did the board change the organization's name to SkillsUSA-VICA?

• A. 1998
• B. 2002
• C. 1965
• D. 2004

Answer: (A)

The important point is that in 1998 the organization updated its branding to reflect a broader mission, combining skilled trades with leadership and personal development. The board changed the name to SkillsUSA-VICA to signal this expanded scope while honoring the organization’s VICA heritage (founded as Vocational Industrial Clubs of America in 1965). Later, in 2004, the name was shortened to SkillsUSA. So the year the name became SkillsUSA-VICA was 1998.
