Skills USA VICA involvement?

I'm interested in finding out from any welding instructors who are involved with the Skills USA Vica conferences if they would recommend the organization. If so, why, if not, why?

i help with the local vica contest every year in ar. hot springs last 2 years, little rock prior to that.
it is a realy good program for all the kids in every catagory not just welding.
i help with equipment set up and some judging, and provide all the gas and torch equipment, miller provides most of the welding power sources and some lincoln.
what i have seen at all the ones i have judged the kids don.t get much blue print reading, so the way they put together the weld project that they weld and are judged on are sometimes a lot different.
i do recomend it very much
