Where was VICA founded?

• A. Nashville, Tennessee
• B. Washington, D.C.
• C. Chicago, Illinois
• D. New York, New York

Answer: (A)

VICA was founded in Nashville, Tennessee. This organization, Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, emerged in the mid-1960s to bring together student leaders in skilled trades and to create a national network for leadership development and competitions. The Nashville origin is the established point in its history, and over time VICA would merge with other groups to become what is now SkillsUSA. While those other cities are well-known hubs for many efforts, the historical record places the founding in Nashville, making it the best choice.
